Senior Architect and Graphic DesignerLondon, United Kingdom
About me
London based freelance Graphic Designer with a Senior Architect background. Graduated in 2015 in MA Graphic Design at the London College of Communication to complement my previous practice as senior architect and to develop a career that combines various aspects of design from a multidisciplinary perspective. Especially interested in exhibition design, wayfinding and environmental design projects, as well as branding, video and website projects with a compelling story behind them.

  • A Flag for the Forgotten
    A Flag for the ForgottenThis experiment aims to communicate a serious and shameful fact that happens in Spain and has to do with its recent history. Few people outside of Spain know about the fact that during a short period of time, from 1931 to 1936, Spain was not a kingdom as it it today, but it was a modern and fully democratic republic that was very soon dismantled by the fascist power after a horrible war. The coup directed by part of the Spanish army against the 2nd Republic in July 1936 was the beginning of the

  • Stateless Nations. An alternative reading of Europe.
    Stateless Nations. An alternative reading of Europe.The European rhetoric takes for granted the current distribution of its territory, considering it as a fixed reality by no means susceptible to alteration. Therefore, it overlooks the existence of a significant amount of people that might be happy with the idea of being European but do not have a state to identify with, a state that represents their concerns. These people are the focus of this MA Graphic Design Major Project: the stateless nations, the nations that dream of a different future in
  • Flags of War
    Flags of WarThis group of two posters, called ‘FLAGS of WAR - Love your flag, die for Freedom’ represents the flags of the two countries that have been the most involved in wars during the past two centuries. The white and blue parts are timelines where war periods are represented with the unchanged design, while the peace periods use an inverted combination of colours. Red colour is made by hundreds of thousands of hearts, each one representing ten war casualties.
