Design Leader, advisor and mentor

Madrid, Spain

About

Hello there! I'm Jaime, Design Leader, Advisor and Mentor.

As a strategist leader, I bridge design, business, and engineering to create innovative digital products.

Over the past +20 years I’ve lead the design and experience of several digital projects across the EU and US working for institutions like the Inter-American Development Bank, Sketch, Santander Bank, Audi, Match and multiple startups and SMEs.

I'm pragmatic, optimistic and curious and outside of work I find joy in podcasting, exploring new places, having fun with friends, and building LEGO sets to the sound of 90’s rock.
