ABOUT
I’m a senior product designer with 5+ years shaping digital products, with deep expertise in accessibility and interaction design. Lately my work has shifted to strategy, building inclusion-led cultures and conceptualising new products.
I believe accessible design is better design. And that great strategy starts with understanding the needs of real people.
Aaand… In my free time, you can usually find me playing sports such as tennis or padel, reading a book or practicing street photography.

#INDUSTRIAL PRODUCT DESIGN
Lo esencial (Spanish) by Miguel Mila if you like industrial product design and want to discover a really interesting designer focused on functionality.
We need to open our senses to everything around us just to absorb new information,
to challenge ourselves
to be able to reach
a new way of observing, seeing and
understanding the world.
