About Carlos Z.

Hi, I’m Carlos Isaac Zuniga — a Creative Technologist, Senior Art Director, and UX/UI Designer with over 15 years of experience helping global brands and startups tell better stories through design, AI, and digital innovation.I specialize in blending creativity and technology to create content that feels human but works like code. My recent work focuses on building AI-powered storytelling systems — using tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Creati, Rork, AI Voiceover, and CapCut — to craft engaging, emotionally resonant social content for my brand @LowerClubVIP and client campaigns across sports, entertainment, and tech.From cinematic highlight reels to automated content workflows, I design and prototype experiences that merge imagination with intelligence. I also use AI to streamline research, automate editing, and train teams on how to use prompt engineering effectively.My creative philosophy is simple: technology should amplify storytelling, not replace it. I love building systems where art and algorithms collaborate — from branded social campaigns to AI-driven UX prototypes.I’m currently open to opportunities where I can help brands explore, create, and educate through AI, including roles like:AI Creative TechnologistCreative Director (AI/Innovation)Senior Art Director (Digital / Tech)UX/UI Product Designer (AI Systems)If your team is exploring how AI can shape the next era of storytelling — let’s connect. h••••@zunigacreative.com creativebyzuniga.com (31••••••11

Experience

1. Lead Ux Ui Designer

   Lving, Inc

   Jun 2024 — Present · Los Angeles, CA, US

   At LVING Inc, a dynamic startup, the product is redefining independent living for older adults and their families.Prior to starting the Figma build, I started by analyzing client documents, conducting thematic analysis, and developing user personas and journey maps to inform the design strategy. Leveraging these insights, I designed mid-fidelity wireframes and transformed them into interactive prototypes for user testing.To meet a critical milestone, stakeholders opted to bypass low-fidelity wireframes, moving directly to mid-fidelity prototypes in Figma. We gathered feedback from eight user participants, refining the app’s usability through iterative improvements.With each iteration, I refined the user experience based on real user insights, ensuring an intuitive, seamless, and user-friendly final product. Currently, I am collaborating with the development team to integrate UI elements into the Flutter Flow mobile app, as stakeholders have transitioned directly from mid-fidelity wireframes to development, ensuring a polished and engaging user experience.
