About me

Here's some information and quick facts about me.

I discovered product design while working as a university researcher in Finland, and the shift felt immediate and obvious.

Since then, I’ve built a solid foundation in UX/UI design, pairing strategic thinking with hands-on execution. In particular, I’ve developed strong expertise in design systems, digital accessibility, and user research.

What motivates me is building products that perform: useful, scalable, and impactful. I collaborate closely with stakeholders, enjoy fast-moving teams, and like being involved early enough to shape product direction, not just polish the final layer.

Today, I work as a Product Designer at Garaje de Ideas, where I design and evolve digital experiences across Mutua Madrileña's product ecosystem.

Life outside of work

Outside of work, I love mountain hikes, music and languages. I'm a native Spanish speaker, but I also speak English (C2), Italian (C1), French (B2) and manage to survive in a few other geographies.

I'm also an avid reader.
