Joan Carles in a few words

I have over six years of experience conceptualizing and crafting digital experiences and products, advocating for users, and helping businesses to understand their customers’ needs while chasing big and innovative ideas. In that time, I worked on more than forty international projects across a wide range of industries and built for all kinds of platforms.

Currently, I am based in Berlin (Germany) and always on the look for cool projects where I can bring my knowledge and expertise, especially taking a strategic role. Let’s be clear, I am not a Design Unicorn nor I want to be one. My skill set is diverse, but I believe the only path to truly elevate product design beyond quality standards is through the collective efforts of different design specialists.

Let's connect and make an impact, should we? 👋
