Barcelona, Spain · Hybrid
I co-founded BARBA, an inplant design agency, with the goal of reinterpreting the collaboration between clients and agencies. We achieve this through an integration model, where a dedicated talent works exclusively for one brand, fully immersed as a member of their marketing and communication team. We provide services across Spain and LATAM, with headquarters in BARcelona and Buenos Aires, which inspired our name. Our goal is to become the natural extension of a brand's marketing department, supporting them in their day-to-day operations, creating visual content, and streamlining creative processes. Currently, as Creative Director, my main role is to establish the best collaboration plan for our clients, based on their graphic production volume, and to identify the right designer and key account manager for each project. I define visual strategies, oversee and participate in design and conceptualization processes, and ensure that all creative executions are visually consistent, appealing, and aligned with our clients’ brand guidelines.
