A Bit More About Me

Cesar is an incredibly talented designer and a great team player. I have been his manager for over two years. During his time at Citrix he has led several projects from beginning to end, designing always with the end user in mind. His execution is flawless following brand guidelines consistently, pushing the envelope with creative ideas and introducing innovative ways to increase efficiency and productivity. He introduced Adobe XD to the team and created "master" design library components that allowed increased collaboration among team members, scalability, consistency and quick turn around of projects.

He has also led all of our interactive and animation-based projects built in "Ceros", building product demos, interactive animations and surveys. Cesar is a true collaborator, open to feedback and new ideas, inclusive, professional, kind and always happy to help no matter how small or large the project at hand may be. Everyone in the team is excited to work with Cesar, who is happy to share his knowledge and talents with other team members. Cesar has also conducted trainings in XD and Ceros for team members within our department as well as across the company, which has helped ensure design best practices, consistency and efficiency across channels. Cesar brings immense value to the team and the company. Any one who has Cesar in their team will have not just a brilliant designer, but a wonderful person as well.

Working with Cesar on the development of the Devitrak app over the past two years has been an amazing experience. As the Design Manager leading the project, he brought so much creativity, organization, and attention to detail that it made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. From the very start, Cesar created designs that were not only beautiful but also easy to work with as a developer. He always made sure his ideas were clear and that everything fit together perfectly. His understanding of both design and development made it easy to turn his vision into reality, and I always felt like we were on the same page.

Devitrak had a lot of moving parts, but he made sure nothing got lost in the shuffle. His communication was always clear, and he made it easy to stay on track, even when things got complicated. On top of that, he’s an incredibly understanding and supportive manager. He always took the time to listen and made sure I had what I needed to do my best work. Thanks to Cesar, the Devitrak app turned out to be something we’re all proud of. His design skills, ability to research and plan, and focus on creating a great user experience were key to its success. I’m really grateful to have had the chance to work with him and learn from his leadership.

Cesar was always a standout team member and an invaluable contributor to our team. His expertise in visual design for both print and digital platforms is truly impressive, with a particular strength in UI design and prototyping that elevates user experiences. One of his biggest contributions was creating comprehensive design libraries and kits that not only streamlined our workflows but also established consistency and quality across all our projects. His ability to think strategically about design systems showcased his exceptional skills in brand management and process improvement.

As a brand manager, Cesar has a remarkable talent for guidance toward creating cohesive and user-centric designs. He has a deep understanding of UX design principles, ensuring that every project is not only visually stunning but also intuitive and impactful for the end user. His collaborative approach fosters alignment between design, development, strategists, and sales, making it easy for the entire team to work efficiently and effectively.

Cesar is also a fantastic person to work with—he brings zero ego to the table, remains incredibly responsive, and consistently goes the extra mile to ensure every detail is just right. He is endlessly curious, always eager to explore new tools and methodologies, and his positive, collaborative energy uplifts everyone around him. I would recommend Cesar to anyone looking for a highly skilled, forward-thinking Design Manager who excels in visual design, brand management, and crafting exceptional user experiences. Any team would be lucky to have him!
