¡Hola!
I’m a UX and digital product designer with a passion for building inclusive experiences

 I’ve been working as User Experience Designer for public and private sector international organisations for three years. First, at BBVA Global Design Team and currently at NTT DATA where I am also a Digital Accessibility consultant.

In my free time I’m a product designer at Nosolofilms and street photographer.

Knowledge areas

Interaction and product design

I like to understand how people interact with interfaces using different devices and assistive technologies. I gather insights, find ways to increase the value proposition in the next iteration and think about how to measure.

Inclusive design and accessibility

Digital accessibility is about meeting users’ needs regardless of their abilities. And inclusive design, goes beyond that and considers all dimensions of human diversity. 

Photography

Not exactly related to design but this is part of who I am and how I see the world. I love street and documentary photography as it allows me to capture people and their ways of being and behave.

Accessibility and inclusive design

I’ve been researching, learning and applying accessibility and inclusive design findings for almost two years. During this period I’ve worked with several organizations to achieve more accessible and inclusive experiences. From talks and masterclasses, to flow and component reviews.

Talk in the DrupalCamp event called “Real accessibility problems in the web and how to solve those in Drupal” (translation from the talk that is in Spanish).
