1. Where were you born


I was born in Andorra



2. Where do you live


I live in Andorra, but I am still present in Barcelona.



3. Where do you work?


I recently started with a colleague a graphic design and animation studio: Mersi Studio. I'm also in charge of the Agro Biomaterials project, to turn it into a sustainable materials company for the future.



4. What is your professional background?


In 2020 I graduated in Product Design at Elisava. Then I did a Master's Degree in Graphic Design and Art Direction and, meanwhile, I worked in an olfactory marketing company as a graphic designer and community manager. Currently I dedicate 100% of my time to my design studio and to the Agro Biomaterials project.



5. What is graphic design for you?


For me, design is the essential tool that any service, product or company needs to define what it is, who it is and how it is different from the rest.



6. Who inspires you, professionally speaking?


One of my role models has always been Miguel Milà. I think I've always been attracted to the simplicity and purity of his designs. Another completely different role model is Núria Vila, one of the first designers to implement sustainability as a fundamental pillar.



7. How would you define your time at Elisava?


Short but intense. Elisava was a time of new knowledge but, above all, of laughter, experiences and friendships.



8. What has influenced you the most from everything you have learnt at Elisava?


Something that somehow cannot be taught. The effort and perseverance behind each project.



9. One piece of advice


To enjoy what you are doing as much as possible.



10. A challenge for the future


To be able to do my part in the design industry.
