About me

I am a 26 years old guy that studied Product Design Engineering in Barcelona, my hometown. Even though I enjoyed the technical development of products, somehow I missed not having the chance to be more creative in my job. That's why I decided to leave and do something focused on the creative part rather than on the technical one.

After two years working as a junior R+D Engineer for Altran I decided to move somewhere else and get back to the university again. I moved to Umeå, in the very north of Sweden, and that's the place where I am currently studying and living. I took an introductory course to industrial design and one year later I got accepted at the Interaction Design MA programme. I had no plans to stay in Sweden longer than a year, but when I saw what the guys in interaction design were working on here, I realized that was what I would enjoy.

I am currently on internship at the Designit office in Copenhagen, working with really nice people in an awesome environment. If you like what I do or if you just think you have something to tell me, get in touch!

Software

I feel comfortable working with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, After Effects and InDesign. I intensively used AutoCAD and Pro/engineer when I was working as an engineer and I have been using Alias and Rhino from time to time.

In addition, I always liked coding in XHTML & CSS and lately I've been having a lot of fun with Arduino, Processing and AsctionScript 3.

Languages

I am fluent in Catalan, Spanish and English and I understand and speak some Swedish, I'm shy though.
