My name is
Jorge Uribe

I help design teams connect the big picture to the next decision—and make the work clearer, more useful, and easier to deliver.

Some Things I've HELPED CRAFT

My work

At Cisco, I connect several efforts: 1CD’s shared experience direction, Magnetic’s design-system delivery, adoption across products, and AI-enabled ways of working. Each story shows a different part of that work, from program decisions to hands-on tools. Earlier cases show how I adapted the approach for banking, enterprise sites, and digital products.
