About
Originally from Spain, I have been living in Berlin for over a decade. I enjoy working in this city because of its openness and the opportunities it provides for collaborating with innovative international teams. As a product UX designer, I especially enjoy creating products that are beautifully simple, even when complex in the background—products that feel easy and enjoyable while solving meaningful problems.
Starting as a visual artist and graphic designer, I moved into web design and development, before transitioning into Product & UX design. I’ve designed for a wide range of industries—from social and ecological organizations to artists, small startups and big tech companies.
While working as a designer for artists taught me to work aesthetically and with perfect attention to detail in my work, collaborating for non-profits and social organisations reinforced my focus in accessible and inclusive design. Working for startups and tech companies has deepened my knowledge about optimising design processes to meet product goals while focusing on user needs.
User-Centered Design is at the heart of my work. To build something from scratch, my ideal process includes:
But not every project has the same requirements, timeline, or technical resources, so I frequently adapt this flow to meet the unique challenges of each project.
I like to work in environments that support both professional and personal growth, and thrive in cross-functional, agile teams that emphasize early team collaboration. I value clear communication and welcome honest feedback from all team members. My experience ranges from freelancing to working with small startups and big tech companies.
This is my favourite UX quote, it may be centuries old, but in today’s saturated world, it’s more relevant than ever!
