About
I am a versatile designer with a strong background in Product Design, Development, Toy Design, Surface Pattern Design and Production. I thrive both as part of a team and when working independently, bringing creativity, adaptability, and a hands-on approach to every project. A fast learner and innovative thinker, I’m skilled in a wide range of design software, including SolidWorks, KeyShot, Photoshop, Illustrator, and more. I’m also experienced in creating scale mock-ups and prototypes using 3D printing, wood, plastic, and cardboard, as well as sewing soft models and samples. I am fluent in English, Spanish and Catalan.
