About Jorge

I began in engineering before moving upstream into design, where ideas take form earlier in the process. My attention now reaches further up to where design meets strategy and innovation.

Over the past fourteen years, I have worked across industries with brands including HAY, nanimarquina, and 1616 Arita, public entities like the Municipality of Amsterdam, and global corporations like IKEA and Nike.

Spain, Sweden, and the Netherlands gave me tools that keep my work grounded and oriented toward the future.I began in engineering before moving upstream into design, where ideas take form earlier in the process.
