Ruben Cespedes

I'm a Principal Product Designer and UX/AI Strategist with 20+ years of experience designing digital products that people actually want to use. I started my design journey in 2004 with Photoshop, picked up front-end development in 2007, and never looked back — that combo shapes everything I do, from systems thinking to pixel-perfect handoffs.

Today I design AI-driven SaaS products, build my own digital tools, and create content for a community of 150K+ designers across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and Threads. I'm also an Adobe Creative Ambassador and Adobe Firefly Ambassador, partnering with brands on campaigns and educational content.

Born and raised in the Dominican Republic. Made my way to the US at 17. Built everything from there.

Currently shipping: Dell AIOps (AI-driven IT infrastructure SaaS), Forklo (a recipe-cleaning Chrome extension), and Able (an One-click WCAG & ADA accessibility Chrome Extension).
