About me
👋 Hey! I’m Max Hualop, product designer at Yape, the app half of Peru uses to send money.
I’m a product designer, but my strength is on the visual and development side. I care that an interface looks good, and I care even more that it actually exists: that’s why I almost always end up coding what I design, and designing with the build in mind.
Today my role is design system developer at Yape: I build the tools that help our team design and ship with the design system, from Figma plugins to the code that keeps it all in sync.
As you may have noticed, my last name isn’t Hualop, it’s Huaraz López. Hualop is what happens when you take my dad’s last name and my mom’s and squash them into one word: HUAraz + LOPez. Two families, one signature, and a surname that actually fits in an Instagram handle. It’s also the best summary of what I do: mixing design and code until you can’t tell where one ends and the other begins.
After hours I keep cooking: Android icon packs, an iOS app for LUTs and the odd Figma plugin. Building my own tools is how I keep learning.
