What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my creativity in a collaborative environment, focusing on innovative design solutions and impactful storytelling.

As a Graphic Designer, Motion Graphic Designer, and Visual Artist based in Barcelona, I am passionate about visual storytelling, branding, and motion design. With a strong foundation in design principles and a keen eye for detail, I have successfully collaborated with international clients to create engaging visual content that resonates with audiences.

My journey in design began with an Undergraduate Degree in Graphic Design, followed by advanced studies in Motion Graphics and VFX. Over the years, I have honed my skills in Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, and Cinema 4D, allowing me to produce high-quality motion graphics and animations. My experience spans various industries, where I have developed branding and animated content for social media campaigns, digital marketing, and sustainability initiatives.

I thrive in fast-paced creative environments and am committed to delivering exceptional results. My adaptability and collaborative spirit enable me to work effectively within cross-functional teams, ensuring that every project I undertake is not only visually stunning but also strategically aligned with client goals.
