I love challenging myself and growing professionally

After finishing my HCI master's, I started freelancing. Doing so for 2 years as an expat in The Netherlands taught me a lot about business, leadership and project management.

I am grateful for the opportunities to explore various skills and interests commercially.
Now it's time for me to deepen collaborations and I'm excited to become part of a company culture.

I'm looking for my next challenge.
Could it be at your company?

Does your comapany culture value:
- social or environmental impact
- people's health & wellbeing
‍
I'm open to relocate within Europe for unique opportuities.
‍
Besides that, I'm into Tech & like setting up efficient frameworks & structures that scale.

I'm eager to work in a team again and grow as a collective.

I'm a teamplayer at heart. When I played academy football in spain, I truly felt the power of collaboration.

Giving free workouts during Covid, I felt my social-fluency flow. Over the years I found that connecting people with each other, whether that's in a design thinking workshop or at community meetup comes natural to me.

The Services I Offered As A freelancer:

Design Expertise

UX Magazine Logo
β€œMy article from 2023 titled 'Why we need 11 Usability Heuristics' critically examines the 10 Usability Heuristics by Jakob Nielsen, highlighting their limitations in addressing current technological advancements and societal contexts. 30 years after their creation, I propose to my peers and make a scientific case for adding an 11th Heuristic called Accessibility & Inclusion.”
