⬤ ¡Hola! —
I’m a Product Designer with a background in type design, working across UI, design systems, and digital products. Originally from Spain and now based in London, I graduated from the Type & Media program at KABK.

I’m currently a Font Developer at Dalton Maag, where I contribute to the design and development of multi-script type systems used in global digital products, collaborating closely with other designers and engineers. [+INFO]

In my free time I hunt letters around the city in @lettersoflondon_ and write in Spanish about technology, the internet, visual communication, and fonts in Breaking Fonts.
