Hi, I’m Astrid

Product Manager with a background in Psychology and Systems Thinking. I design products by connecting users, business, and complex systems to support better decisions.

About

I was born and raised in Lima, Peru, where I studied Psychology and learned to look beyond symptoms to understand behavior through patterns, context, and relationships. In my final year at university, I worked in innovation while, at the same time, supporting people through psychotherapy and psychoeducation, two very different spaces that shaped how I think.

That way of thinking gradually led me into product, research, and systems design. I work at the intersection of human insight, technology, and digital products focusing on decisions that are sustainable over time rather than quick fixes.

In 2023, I moved to Berlin while working remotely as a Product Manager. In 2025, after an internship in UX Research at Doctolib, I began a Master degree in System Design, where I have been refining my understanding of products as interconnected systems rather than a set of isolated features. In my free time, I take photos, travel, and sometimes paint. It is a simple way for me to slow down and pay attention.

I am currently finishing my Master Thesis on mental health access for refugees in Germany and actively looking for Product Manager roles where technology serves people who need it most.

I became interested in how technology, organizations, and human needs interact and how product decisions can create meaningful change for vulnerable communities

How I approach
product

I approach Product by looking at the whole picture. Connecting people, technology, and organizations to support thoughtful, sustainable decisions.

“A good product starts with the system”

  • Human-centered — built around real needs
  • Focused in the root causes, not surface symptoms
  • Design for long term clarity not quick wins

“A good product is adaptive”

  • Evolves with users and organizations
  • Built thought collaboration, not silos
  • Sustainable for users and teams

“A good design is data informed”

  • Uses data to understand patterns and behavior
  • Combines metrics with user insight and context
  • Supports better decisions, not just validation
