About me
I am a qualified graphic designer and Illustrator with commercial experience of more than eight years. From an early age, I was aiming for a career in the creative world. The love for cool ads gave me the final motivation to choose Graphic Design as a profession. I was graduated in Graphic Design, specialising in Advertisement Graphics, in Zaragoza in 2011 (Spain). After a year happily working in an Advertising agency, I decided to move to London and work in one of the most creative cities in the world. Since then, I have worked for a variety of companies going form the food and beverage industry, the entertainment sector and lastly in a branding agency. I love road trips in summer, contemporary art and going to opening exhibitions first Thursday in the month. I also love climbing when the weather permits and going bouldering if not.
Projects
  • Bloom Brands Group
    Bloom Brands GroupIn Autumn 2018 I started a new adventure as Creative Manager for this firm that had a significant challenge with its own brand identity despite being very successful building brands for other people. They couldn’t find the right approach, no matter how many designers tried and how many briefs were written. Something was missing. The process started meeting the CEO and founder and the Head of Marketing. The purpose was to get as much information possible and understand what was wrong and what w
  • Koan Kolors
    Koan KolorsKoan Kolors was a pop-up art gallery appearing in Madrid every other month from 2013 – 2014. The mind behind the idea is one of my best friends. Koan poems are paradoxical anecdotes or riddles without a solution, used in Zen Buddhism to demonstrate the inadequacy of logical reasoning and provoke enlightenment. I loved the idea from the very beginning. So I decided to volunteer and offer my branding skills to create the gallery identity. I loved every phase of the project and had absolute fr
  • Marketing Collateral
    Marketing CollateralHere a taste of some of the marketing campaigns that I worked in the past. As a specialist in print graphic design, I always advise considering print material when thinking of a basic campaign. I have a solid knowledge of print production techniques from preparing files to finished art and conducting print checks. As you can see in my portfolio, I cover a wide range of styles, versatility can only help your brand. Remain consistent, and aim to the right public will do the rest.
  • Summer of Six
    Summer of SixDo you remember the summer of 2018? England on its way to the World Cup fin and of the hottest summers the UK had for the past 60 years. It was also the 6th anniversary of The Hippodrome Casino, and no expense was spared to celebrate all of that. For this project, we wanted to create something fresh. Usually, Casino aesthetics are always moody, dark, mysterious and classy. So what could be more refreshing than tropical vibes, flamingos, plants everywhere and bright flowers? I hade the pleasure
  • Spirits List
    Spirits ListThe Hippodrome Casino has 6 bars and serves almost every well-known brand plus the niche labels. Every bar has its drinks menu but sometimes, when a guest wants to see the full picture, it needs a drinks catalogue. To solve this problem, we created this spirits list. To guide the guest on a journey to the very best of alcohol brands, covering every angle. On this project, I led the creative direction and design execution. It has soft matt lamination, that feels delicate at touch and gold foil
  • The world’s first Meatologist™
    The world’s first Meatologist™Heliot Steak House launched the country’s first School of Meatology, a series of classes which will educate meat lovers on how to cook the perfect steak. On this project, we had a massive challenge. The brand needed to look like a Steak University, a point of reference, an institution. The previous branding was a bit of a cliché, grunge textured background, American style illustrations and burned wood. Chef’s hero images didn’t help as he was carrying or with meat around. To get a more reliab
