about me
Graphic designer with 5+ years of experience working across agencies, in-house teams, and long-term freelance collaborations. 

Experience in building and maintaining visual identities, translating brand strategy into consistent design systems, and working fast-paced, remote-first environments.

Very curious and I also enjoy learning about technical topics simply because they interest me - for example coding fundamentals.

2023
in house collaboration for glovo web design
ux/ui design
paid media


in 2023, i decided to take a break from freelancing to get adventurous and jump into the corporate world, and worked at glovo, as the courier department’s designer. 

safe to say it was the opportunity of a lifetime (specially as a first approach to the corporate world), as I got to engage with the product team quite a lot, and learnt how to better manage my own time and projects, and the departement needs. I also responded the requests from the international teams.

I led the project from research to UI, testing the existing platform, identifying usability issues and analysing competitors to uncover opportunities for improvement. 
Client feedback was incorporated throughout the process, influencing the user flows, structure and final interface.

I also defined the website's information architecture, created a strong web map and copy, to create a clearer way to communicate the product.

freelance project identity design
album design
merch



 this project explores an alternative visual direction developed for a singer’s album release. 

I created the CD artwork and extended the concept into a series of merchandise proposals, exploring how the album’s visual identity could live beyond the physical cd.

the final release followed a different creative direction, but this one is one of my favourite proposals from the project.

hobby project done for myself brand design & illustration
web design
ui/ux design



this project grew out of my love for vegetables, fruits and the many colourful fruit and vegetable shops I discovered after moving to Barcelona. 

I turned that inspiration into a complete fictional brand, developing everything from the identity and illustrations to campaign materials, applications and the digital experience. 

it became an opportunity to build an entire visual world from scratch and explore how the same personality could translate across print, physical objects and digital interfaces.

freelance collaboration brand design

social media


this project was developed in collaboration with a senior designer I regularly worked with, who led the creative direction. 

I was responsible to take that direction into the wider visual system, developing the graphic assets, illustrations and social media content that brought the campaign to life across different formats.
