About

I design the complex stuff and make it feel simple.

Product designer and design engineer. I spend my time in the products most designers avoid: cloud platforms, security, SaaS and AI tools. My job is turning dense technical systems into something people trust and actually want to use.

Who I am

I work on products where complexity is unavoidable, but confusion is not. I’ve designed mobile apps, immersive 3D experiences, cybersecurity tools and cloud infrastructure, along with the design systems that hold all of it together.

I have a Master’s in User Experience Design and a background in marketing, but what I actually run on is cognitive empathy: a real interest in how people communicate and connect. I’m fluent in Spanish, English and Catalan, and years of living and working in other countries shaped the way I listen, ask questions and design.

I do my best work in the space between product, engineering and the people we’re actually designing for. I find the problem underneath the request, connect decisions across the product, and turn technical constraints into something that feels like one thing rather than twenty.

How I work

Every product is a series of decisions. I make them early, while they are still cheap, and prove them with the people who will live with them.

The phases overlap, and research never really stops. Most of the time goes into the loop in the middle: build something real, watch people use it, change it, test again. Tools have made the building fast. Knowing what to change is still the job.
