About Rafael Medina

About me

I design the complicated parts of products people prefer not to think about. I figure out what to build, test it with real people, and prototype in code because working interactions answer questions faster than static mockups.

When I’m not working, I’m probably kickboxing, swimming, riding a bike, or being humbled by salsa and jiu jitsu.

  • Kickboxing
  • Mountain biking
  • Lap swimming
  • Hiking
  • Salsa (learning)
  • Jiu jitsu (learning)
