About

I'm a designer from Barcelona, currently living in Brooklyn, NY. I specialize in envisioning and prototyping new products and experiences that help people be more creative, connected and aware. Currently, I lead the Interaction Design team at Seed Studio, an incubation design group in Google Devices & Services, focusing on envisioning new hardware and interfaces. Before that, I led design for an AI tutor to help improve education at scale, at Google Education. Previously I worked at an incubation team at Microsoft, inventing and prototyping new interfaces, products and platforms in the areas of Mixed Reality and Artificial Intelligence. In the past I ran my own studio, working for clients worldwide as well as on self-driven projects: ishback.com. I'm also visiting faculty and thesis advisor at Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design.
