Hugo Cornejo

Hello! I’m Hugo Cornejo.

I’ve spent my career building products, teams and companies, but I still love making things myself.

I started out as a software engineer because I liked the idea of making computers do exactly what I told them to do. A few years later I left code behind and got more interested in what we were building, and why.

I’ve been lucky to work on some pretty special things. I joined Monzo on day one as the first designer. Back then design meant the whole thing: product and brand design, user research, product marketing, and yes, I designed the original hot coral card myself. I built and led that team as the company grew from zero to millions of customers.

More recently I co-founded Packfleet, where I run product and design across the whole thing: from the apps our merchants and drivers used to the colourful wraps of our vans.

Nowadays I mostly work on my own projects, like building Abejas, and sharing stories on my old personal blog, infa.me (only in Spanish, sorry!)

I still make time to work with founders and teams on interesting things though.

Find me on LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon or drop me an email.
