What can I do for you?
-
From the largest to the smallest, the concept is the basis and soul of any project. Together, we can shape your idea, looking for a concept and storytelling that help build your brand. Either in its early stages or to give it continuity.
-
Creation of mood boards that connect your project with the main market trends. Whether it is to focus on a concept, lead the way for a new collection or find and summarize current trends.
-
From the initial idea and first sketches to renderings and technical drawings, choice of colors and materials, and qualities. I can take care of monitoring the production process, (including the search and contact with suppliers when necessary), the review of samples, and corrections, until reaching the validation of the pre-production sample.
-
Beyond the product itself, there is what surrounds it. That’s why I can help you shape it through Illustration, choice of fonts and colors, and packaging design. Taking care of the entire process until the delivery of the final arts and the supervision of qualities and prints.
-
If you need a supplier to bring your product to life, I can help you find the one that suits you and your needs the best. Whether national (from Spain) or international.
I’ve always thought of design as a series of connected dots. Each one a new discipline, a new technique, a different way to express yourself. And my career as a designer has a lot to do with that. With jumping from one dot to the next. With exploring. That’s what has brought me from luxury to fast fashion, from Barcelona to Milan and back, from building my own brand to working in kid’s design, and from being a multidisciplinary designer to becoming a freelance designer. So, I guess these are my dots:
✦ Foundations
My career begins at the age of 18, when I move to Barcelona to study industrial and graphic design at ELISAVA. Four years of studies, which ended with a scholarship from the Richemont Group to study a master's degree in luxury accessories design in Milan, thanks to my final project, Fabric.
✦ Luxury
After my first stage in Barcelona, I move to Milan to delve into the world of luxury watches, bags, and jewelry. An experience full of learning and growth that leads me to my first position at a large fashion brand, Chloé, where I work designing prints and textile techniques for the bag’s department.
✦ My own brand
Sometime later and already back in Barcelona, I decide to bring my first personal project to life by co-founding GAVIRIA, a jewelry and handbag brand inspired by popular culture and art. An adventure that lasts four crazy and wonderful years, giving me some of the most important lessons of my career.
✦ Fast Fashion
After these years, I make the tough decision to leave Gaviria to explore a new discipline unknown to me until then. This is how I start working in the Inditex group, designing costume jewelry, accessories, and perfumery at Stradivarius. A hectic year that drives me to take my most recent step.
✦ New challenges
I guess, at this point, it makes sense. Why not keep exploring new disciplines, while keeping in touch with the ones I already know? This is the idea that leads me to become a freelance designer. A new stage that allows me to work for young brands such as Mini Kyomo, designing children's accessories, reconnecting with luxury, or giving life to the latest Stradivarius perfume collection. All while continuing searching and learning new techniques such as tapestry or tufting gun, shaping a new personal project, which, hopefully, will soon become a reality.
