About

 

Alberto is a product designer with 15+ years of experience across physical product development, brand identity, and digital design — always grounded in a user-centered approach. A natural listener and observer, he believes that understanding the user and their context is the foundation of every real solution. Quantitative and qualitative research are where every project begins; storytelling is how an idea becomes meaning.

His background in industrial design shaped a way of working that goes from problem definition to concept before touching the interface — a systems-thinking approach he now applies to digital product design.

Natural self-learner and excellent team member that will always look after the integration of the team and the planning of the project’s work flow.

My álter-ego

 

Art is a part of me, in many ways. One of these ways is music, which has been part of my adventure for as far as I can remember. My álter-ego mostly as a flamenco singer has taken me on a trip along many important stages around the world, having performed in Canada, USA, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Switzerland, Austria, Spain and many places around Mexico. Art is an inherent part of who I am.
