Get to know me

I’m Borja, a 29 year-old designer from Asturias and currently based in Madrid, Spain. I work remotely and focus on creating better user experiences thanks to my good eye for human behaviour patterns and communication.

As a designer, I’m always eager to learn and further develop my skills. That’s why I’m always learning and creating content for others to learn. In fact, right this second, I’m most likely working on some side project…

I am currently working in Product Design in North Star Network. I’m passionate about design, art, food, literature, different cultures, travel and cats!
