About me
I’m an independent designer working for cultural institutions, non-profit organisations, artists and brands. I have often collaborated with museums and visitor centres, particularly those which use media technologies to engage visitors actively. I have lived in Helsinki, Barcelona, and Copenhagen, where I served eight years as an Art Director at YOKE. I hold a BA in Fine Arts from Universidad Complutense Madrid (2011). I have studied one year at Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture (Helsinki). My work includes visual identity, illustration, editorial design, animation and digital design, always with a focus on creating strong visual narratives that follow the audience through their experience. I believe every story has its own poetry. By defining it and expressing it through typography, illustration or animation, the chances to connect with the audience will be maximized, deeply influencing their perception.
