Life-centered approach
Our designs stopped focusing on the comfort of individuals. We design for the life experiences of all beings in this planet.

#TexxFactor: female in fintech by Deutsche Bank & Finleap
Two days of intensive design thinking for inventing CareCoin: the cryptocurrency and platform incentivising the work that individuals, mostly women, do for free, like housework or kids raising.
#DemocracyIsEverything by Startup's club: Factory Berlin
Factory Berlin gave us two days to develop our idea: Beyond the vote. A platform redefining the concept of civic engagement and democracy by empowering citizens across the globe to get politically involved. Anywhere. Anytime.
This time we won the first price and start being part of the Factory startup ecosystem. Currently I work as freelancer for some of the projects growing up there.
#HackingHealth: tech in healthcare by Charité Hospital
Sixty hours at Charité University with a team of doctors, computer scientists, developers and designers made one of my ideas to become true: Sweetspot, an educational app supporting people with diabetes by enabling them to make smarter and healthier food choices at the supermarket. Since then I had a great relation with HackingHealth team. We were presenting ideas to the Spanish scientist community (CERFA) at the embassy in Berlin, also participating as mentors for Health hackathons in Berlin.
