Samuel Aguilar-Nuñez
Product Designer
I am a product designer and developer with a background in Cognitive Science. I take ambiguous, early-stage problems through strategy, design, code, and launch.
RealityCMS
A CMS that won't make you feel like you broke something. Non-technical clients edit their live site by clicking it, inside boundaries the developer declares in code.
Chat2Learn
Voice-first mobile app designed with the University of Chicago BIP Lab. Prototype anchored their MIT Solve application that won Gates Foundation backing.
Project Siroco
A WebGL particle system connected to the OpenAI Realtime Voice API. Motion as communication.
MJV Brand
Brand identity for an AI software development agency. Color, type, logo, and marketing materials.
REACH Pathways
AI-native career platform for high-achieving students. Designed and built the MVP end to end.
EventSpase
Event creation & sharing app for creators. Cofounded, designed, and built over four years.
Cormac
An experimental writing tool that promotes momentum over output. Zoom in to write, zoom out to think.
McKinley Bank
A speculative prototype for reviewing and releasing a batch of payments before the wire cutoff.
Hey, I'm Sam. I'm a product designer from San Diego, California.
For the last two years I led design and frontend at MJ Technologies, shipping six client MVPs across edtech, fintech, and enterprise software. Before that I co-founded a startup and studied Cognitive Science at Brown University.
When I'm not working, I enjoy watching soccer or practicing my photography skills.
Available for work, full time and contract.
