About

I’m a creative director and design educator working across brand identity, motion, and broadcast design. Since 2008, my practice has focused on developing visual systems that help brands, networks, and cultural institutions communicate with clarity and purpose across screens. Currently, I serve as Associate Creative Director at Astucemedia, leading projects that bridge strategic design thinking with broadcast and digital media innovation. I also teach Design Thinking at LABA Valencia, where I mentor young designers in building coherent and innovative design solutions to emerging problems. Alongside industry and academic work, I co-direct a Barcelona-based collective producing narrative content and creative campaigns within the independent music and contemporary art context. My approach combines design strategy, motion language, and cultural insight — aligning brand expression with the dynamics of movement, sound, and technology.
