About me.

Hey! I'm Oriol, a Barcelona-based Product Designer with a multidisciplinary background. Currently, I'm working on several accounts for ZN Consulting, as well as lending my expertise to several other clients as a freelance designer.

I see myself as a data-driven problem solver, and a staunch believer in cross-functional product building. I act as a bridge between users, stakeholders, design and development teams, and I often find myself nurturing junior talent in design teams.

This year you'll find me drilling down on accesibility for digital products.

My passion for UX and design extends beyond just work — I can often be found engaged in communities like Friends of Figma, as well as mentoring (mostly) junior designers over at ADPList. I make a point of surruounding myself with incredibly talented designers (and friends) that I often use to bounce design ideas off (it's all NDA friendly, I swear!).

I'm not all work, however! I love technology (I was there when the Internet hit our homes, and it molded me!) building custom keyboards, playing video games at a semi-competitive level, and this year i'm training for my first half-marathon.

My principles
as a designer

Learning as a method

One of the main joys I get from work is the feeling of constantly learning and growing as a designer. I love new challenges and learning things as I develop them.

Collaboration is key

Throughout my design career I’ve been able to tackle projects as a group and by myself. Experience has led me to believe collaboration and open communication is key.

Agile as a mindset

I enjoy breaking down complex problems and tackling them in short sprints. The granularity of it fits perfectly with how I believe I work best.

Data driven, accessible designs

This year’s all about accessibility but some of us have had an eye on it for a while. I try to make sure my designs focus on WCAG compliance and come from well informed, data-rich sources.
