I’m Bel, a Product Designer based in North London, born and bred in beautiful Madrid.


Design has always been my passion, ever since I studied interior design right up to this moment!


Over the past 10 years, I’ve worked in a whole range of organisations including retailers, international agencies, small businesses and startups.


I’ve done everything from visual and UI design to designing email campaigns, landing pages and printed materials. But for the last 4 years my work has focused solely on Product Design.


I'm very comfortable across the entire Product Development Process, however I particularly enjoy connecting the dots, spotting opportunities across journeys, ideation and bringing people together through effective workshops.

Some fun facts about me

👩‍💻 I love to code! In fact I designed and coded this whole website from scratch using Bootstrap! (and it's responsive - have a look on your phone).

🥞 I'm a pancakes and coffee nerd. I make pancakes every weekend, and I like my coffee Aeropress-style. Medium roast, please.

🥘 I'm super proud of Spanish cuisine and I'm on a mission to spread the joy of my favourite foods. P.S. Don't listen to Jamie Oliver – chorizo shouldn't be anywhere near paella.
