Places I’ve worked

About

I doodle and I build things, usually both at once. I grew up in Mexico drawing on everything: gig posters, comics, punk flyers. That part never left.

I co-founded design at Carbon Health, was a designer at InVision, and started giving away illustration libraries... Avataaars, Humaaans, Open Peeps, Open Doodles. Some of them ended up in apps I still use.

In 2021 I made Robotos, ten thousand droids on the blockchain. TIME Studios announced a series. Most of that world is gone now, and that's fine. Humankind and Herokind came from the same itch.

These days I'm a designer and member of the technical staff at Anthropic, working on Duet. On the side I'm building hilos, a team chat where the coding agents are members too. Before that I was on the creative team at Vercel working on v0, and before that I co-founded Lummi, which Udemy acquired in 2025. I teach on YouTube and Udemy, and I write on Substack when I remember.

Elsewhere

All of this also exists as a place you can walk around: Pablo's World, the same work with grass and a jump button.

Still digging? There's a messy pile of illustrations, videos, and old work, just dumped in one place.

Un abrazote.
