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 on the creative team at Vercel, still working on v0. On the side I'm building hilos, a team chat where the coding agents are members too. 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.

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.
