Work experience
Senior Product Designer
OutThink
Dec 2023 - Jan 2026
2 years 2 months
Barcelona, Spain
As the first Product Designer at OutThink, I was responsible for establishing design foundations across the product from a fragmented starting point. I unified work produced by multiple external agencies into a cohesive system, introduced structure where none existed, and partnered closely with product and engineering to bring clarity to complex, security-driven workflows across dashboards, learning experiences, and public-facing surfaces. Alongside hands-on design, I helped elevate the role of design within the organization. As design impact became visible, the team invested further, growing into a multi-designer setup working collaboratively across initiatives. My focus remained on reducing cognitive load, enabling confident user decisions, and ensuring design functioned as a strategic input, not just visual execution.
