About
I am an Industrial Design Engineering graduate with a strong interest in urban design and in creating solutions that make cities more sustainable, inclusive, and enjoyable places to live.
Sustainability is a key part of my approach to design, and I am passionate about collaborative projects that aim to create meaningful, user-centred solutions that contribute to a better quality of life.
L’OMBRA is a modular structure designed to create comfortable and sheltered spaces in Barcelona’s public areas. Developed in response to the climate emergency and rising temperatures, the project combines shade, solar energy generation, resting areas, and play spaces for children. Its modular and replicable design promotes a more active and inclusive use of the urban environment, while raising awareness of renewable energy and collective resource use. The project was developed in collaboration with local organisations and companies, with the support of student Marta Ramos (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya), with the aim of creating a sustainable and adaptable solution to improve thermal comfort and foster community life in the city.
