About

I’m a product designer graduated from the Bachelor's Degree in Design and Innovation at Elisava, Barcelona School of Design and Engineering. Born in a city near Barcelona, my approach to design is deeply rooted in the Mediterranean culture and the timeless values of Spanish design.

Throughout my studies, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with international brands such as MUJI and Kave Home, working on real-world challenges that shaped my vision as a designer. My final degree project was developed in collaboration with the Swiss company USM Modular Furniture, where I explored new ways of rethinking modular systems to create meaningful and adaptable spaces.

Currently, I’m part of the technical office at Santa & Cole, a leading lighting design company based near Barcelona. My work is strongly influenced by the legacy of Barcelona’s design heritage and the philosophy of renowned designers like Miguel Milà—combining simplicity, functionality, and emotional value in every project.

I’m driven by the belief that good design should be honest, enduring, and accessible. I enjoy working across disciplines, from product development to spatial experiences, always aiming to design with purpose.

This Final Degree Project proposes an innovative solution for contemporary workspaces through the design of sound-absorbing office dividers integrated into the USM Haller modular system. Based on research into the historical evolution of office design and the challenges of open offices, a connecting piece was developed to attach recycled polyester panels that can rotate 360 degrees, without altering the original structure. The project strikes a balance between the technical and the poetic, enhancing the versatility of the USM Haller system while respecting its modular logic, offering a lightweight, adaptable solution to current needs for comfort, privacy, and concentration.
