Hi! I’m Marina, a designer from Madrid, now based in Nuremberg, Germany. I design services and experiences for users. I help transform organizations. I’m a problem solver, a facilitator, and I really enjoy visualizing complex thoughts into simple, inspiring stories.

I work at adidas as a Lead Service Designer. I’m always open to interesting collaborations that include design, illustration, facilitation, or teaching. During these years these are some of the things I’ve been lucky to participate in or organize:

I was selected by Celera as one of the top-10 young most talented Spanish individuals. I was one of the 25 participants in Generadores Coca-Cola. I co-organized GovJam Madrid 2017 and was a speaker twice at Service Jam Zaragoza. I wrote an article about the transportation card “Multi” and why it’s important to design thinking in the user. I introduced design thinking for public government to the tax administration department of Alicante (Summa Innova). I taught Design Research as an invited lecturer at Pratt Insitute (NY) and Design Thinking in the Packaging Master at IQS (Madrid). I talked about design in the BBVA podcast. I coached the MTorres team in the eFP Challenge (and they won!). I’ve been trying to upload more illustrations to my Instagram. And I created an Etsy Shop to sell my pottery pieces.
