How I work

Six values I work by.

  1. 01

    Empathy on both sides

    For the user, of course, but also for whoever handed me the work. I put myself in a manager's or client's shoes to work out what problem I'm really solving.

  2. 02

    Ownership by default

    I own the outcome, not just my slice of it. I make the decisions within my remit and stand behind how they land.

  3. 03

    Team before ego

    I'd never step over a colleague to get ahead. I split the work fairly and collaborate as openly and honestly as I can, always ready to hear out the team and the client.

  4. 04

    Restless by nature

    Always after something new, and always trying to get sharper at whatever's in front of me.

  5. 05

    Allergic to friction

    Efficiency over most things. If a step exists for no good reason, it goes.

  6. 06

    Unbothered by change

    New projects, new tools, new direction: none of it rattles me. Learn on the go.

About me

Senior product designer with an engineering background, working on fintech, B2B and AI products from Barcelona.

At North, I own product design from research to handoff: user interviews and benchmarks, UX and interaction design, design systems, and coded prototypes that engineering builds from.

I studied Product Design Engineering in Glasgow and a master's in UX/UI design in Barcelona. Before North, I designed accessible interfaces to WCAG 2.2 at Human Call to Action.

Outside of work, I'm usually climbing, out on the water, or playing in a band.
