A few details you should know
I was raised in Spain and call Zürich my home for the past 10yr. Some say, I got the best of both worlds.
I originally studied design, UX/UI Specialist, but drifted 15yr back and Start creating businesses. Along the way I have learned that Kindness & Collaboration are the key to make a difference in this world. I have created 5 Startups. Been a digital Nomad 6yr before Covid19. Crossed the Atlantic Ocean on a Sailboat, Had a dinner at NOMA, and I got almost run over by a Black Rhino 🦏 in Africa while learning about Biomimicry. I have traveled every continent, collaborated with universities & Companies around the world, meet amazing human beings and learned that integrity is more valuable than gold.
Where & how can i do the most good
I implement and build suitable Innovation frameworks around teams & organisations, opening new opportunities to look beyond the daily Business.
I help redesigning Company and Team cultures around how to approach innovation while the world is on change.
I create prototyping structures and methods that fit both Hardware & Software related projects. Bringing concepts to life so you can touch them.
