About Santiago

✍️ I’m a Senior Art Director focused on turning complex ideas into clear visual stories. Working across branding, product, and communication design, I create visual systems that make technology more understandable, memorable, and human.

💻 I’ve led rebrands, designed digital experiences, and developed editorial and motion content for startups and global tech companies, always balancing strategy with hands-on craft.

📍 Based in Barcelona, I’m especially interested in projects that bridge technology, storytelling, and visual systems with a strong conceptual foundation.
