“You live the surprise results of old plans

 

I’m a Product Designer from Madrid but based in London. I enjoy collaborating and being involved in all stages of the product development process; from brainstorming business challenges and concepts right through to prototyping, iterating design specifications, and testing up to launch.

My vision is about making companies grow by helping them to construct digital products in order to improve their business competitive opportunities. I have gained a diverse background in creating digital experiences for healthcare, oil & gas, utilities, transport and startups.


I think that there’s always something new waiting for you: whether it be a new technique, technology, or shift in cultural values. Design is always changing.
