What I'm looking for

I'm looking to drive positive environmental and social impact through ESG strategy, social innovation, systems thinking, collaborative workshops, and transformative solutions.

I've driven sustainability strategy and positive-impact initiatives for organizations including Inditex, IKEA, and GCash Philippines through my work as an Impact Strategist at The Overview Effect.

I lead research, collaborative workshops, stakeholder engagement, and global communities to develop transformative solutions across energy, food, water efficiency, diversity, and social impact.

My background in industrial design, sustainable development, and freelance design for United Way Spain helps me turn systems thinking, ESG strategy, and impact measurement into clear initiatives and communications.
