About me
Born in Madrid, and after spending three years in London, I moved back to my hometown, where I currently work as a remote Product Designer for The Dots – a professional networking platform for the new world of work. At The-Dots, I've led design projects from inception to execution, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams, including developers, product managers, and marketing and sales departments. I've been working as a solo designer for almost six years. This time has allowed me to work on constant product improvements and new features such as events, an ask forum, a job board, and creating a new community page with an innovative swiper to connect people, an inbox and a news feed built from scratch. The early success of the product evolved into a new proposal of white label apps for other companies, using our design system and technology to become the solution used by the world's most discerning member clubs, co-working spaces, and branded memberships like Apple, Dazed, Soho House, Frieze, UAL and 180 Studios. Over the past year, my responsibilities have expanded to include creating demos and prototypes for sales proposals. I also conducted a complete migration from Sketch to Figma, which provided an incredible opportunity to establish a new Theming System that aligned with our new product aims and needs, facilitating the design workflows and collaboration among iOS, Android, and web development teams as well as other teams.
I've also been in charge of the design of visual assets for marketing/social media campaigns, email notifications, newsletters, client decks and promotional micro-sites. I am passionate about UX/UI Design and Branding. I'm dedicated to working on projects with a positive social impact while balancing visual efficiency, user needs, business objectives, and technical constraints. I'm open to contributing to meaningful projects to create innovative solutions that resonate with users, elevate brands, and drive positive change ✨
