About Me

Me enjoying a day out in Hoorn.

Good product design is a conversation between people, systems and society.

My name is Andrés Canelones. I’m a Venezuela-born, Netherlands-based Product Designer and pastime Frontend Developer with a passion for designing and shipping delightful digital products. I’ve been designing since I was 10 years old, and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

As a professional I feel at my best when navigating complex, multifaceted challenges that balance user needs, business objectives, and technical constraints. I take pride in my ability to communicate design concepts persuasively through presentations and demos.

My Work Pillars

Evidence-based Work

Measure and understand the impact of my design solutions and having a clear path to act upon those findings.

Building Consensus

Gathering feedback, getting buy-in from stakeholders and having a shared future vision with my colleagues is a top priority.

Systems Thinking

Incorporate design, tech, business and societal perspectives into the work I do so I can create solutions that are resilient and sustainable.

Freedom to Explore

Try out crazy ideas, work on side projects and collaborate with other colleagues while having fun. And then, find ways to feed that energy back into my main work.

Personal Interests

Outside of work, I enjoy listening to and reading about music, and sometimes even making it. I also enjoy learning about history, archeology, and social theory, as well as architecture, urbanism and mass mobility. And yes, I’ve had more than 20 Wikipedia tabs open at a time.

My usual background when I’m in online meetings is also a good summary of what I enjoy.
