UX DESIGNER IN CODERE

I worked as a UX Designer at Codere, contributing to the improvement of the Codere Club digital ecosystem for Mexico and LATAM.

Mexico served as a digital laboratory, where ideas were coceived and validate: from research, throught design, prototyping and launch of digital products.

The products developed (App, kiosk & websites) were subsequently scaled to other countries (Argentina, Colombia, Panama, Uruguay) adapting them to each marketthrough a process of tropicalization, while maintaining brand consistency and user experiences.

KIOSK

KIOSK

Overview

A digital kiosk experience designed for high-traffic physical environments, focused on improving usability, speed, and clarity for end users while supporting scalability across multiple LATAM markets.

Context y Problem

The existing kiosk experience created friction during key user actions, leading to hesitation, slower task completion, and unnecessary cognitive load in a public, time-sensitive environment.

Additionally, the solution needed to align with a renewed digital ecosystem and support scalability across different markets.

My Rol

UX Research, UX Design, and UI Design.
I collaborated closely with stakeholders and developers throughout the process.

Research & Key Insighs

The research phase focused on identifying usability issues and opportunities to simplify the experience.

Key insights:

  • Users needed clearer guidance to understand what action to take next.

  • Too many options increased cognitive load and reduced confidence.

  • Speed and clarity were more valuable than additional information.

  • Visual hierarchy played a critical role in usability within physical environments.

Design Strategy

The solution was guided by the following principles:

  • Speed over complexity

  • Clarity before completeness

  • Reduced cognitive load

  • Design for scalability across markets

Solution Overview

The experience was redesigned to simplify the primary user flow, prioritize key actions, and improve visual hierarchy. The new design reduced friction, improved clarity, and supported consistent usage across different locations.

WEBSITE

WEBSITE

Overview

Codere casinos lacked an official website to communicate Codere Club (loyalty program), events, raffles, prizes, promotions and more.

Challenge

Create a website relevant for both users and business, keeping users informed about their favorite casinos.

My Rol

Front-end developer and UX/UI designer.
I collaborated closely with stakeholders

Objetives:

  • Align with sites from other countries

  • Standardize structure & design

  • Ensure scalability for future expansions

Key Insights

  • Unification creates brand consistency

  • CMS streamlines monthly content updates

  • User behavior research prioritized

Solution

I developed a centralized and scalable website that communicates key events and news for users, incorporates an intuitive CMS for monthly content management, includes dedicated landing pages for special events, offers a comprehensive informational section about casinos (schedules, offers, events, and raffles), and applies full standardization to the sites in Colombia and Panama.

APP

APP

Overview

The previous Codere Club app offered limited actions, lacked consistent design, and had recarga failures. Analysis revealed tedious flows with multiple clicks for redemptions or PIN changes.

Challenge

Redesign an accessible Codere Club app where users view loyalty level/points, recharge cards, make redemptions (raffles, favorite exchanges), and access personalized promotions.

My Rol

Front-end developer and UX/UI designer

Strategy

User research → Process redesign → LATAM scalability.

Objetives:

  • Refresh app look & feel

  • Improve UX for point redemption across multiple lines (Bookmaker, Slots, Raffles, Food)

  • Keep users informed about level, available points, and personalized promotions

Key Insights

  • Flow restructuring to reduce steps

  • Standardization of digital redemptions from app

  • Scalable, country-adaptable design for LATAM

Solution

Simplified app redesign for instant redemptions (point exchange on machines), aligned with unified digital ecosystem (kiosks & websites) for casinos in Colombia, Mexico, and Panama.
