I am Carlos Villalba, a multidisciplinary designer located in Madrid.

As an insatiable believer in human-centered design, I am captivated by user interaction and solving people-based problems. I approach design with empathy and focus on understanding the emotions and real needs of the people I am designing for, with the aim of creating clear and impactful solutions to improve their lives.

I have worked on web design, UI/UX, branding and corporate identity projects, and collateral design. I enjoy working as a team, and learning new tools and approaches that help me improve my design process.

Outside of design, my interests are focused on music production, researching new technologies and trying to achieve a fairer world for everyone.
