Christina Grace Bifano

educator, Consultant, and Designer in Barcelona, Spain

Welcome to my page! Since I was a child I have been captivated by treasure hunting. This curiosity to find and unearth something special and understand its story has sent my life down a creative and now strategic path.

I am a senior researcher and executive trainer at Inquire Studio, specializing in upskilling brands and organizations through workshops, lectures, and one-on-one mentoring. Over the past two years, I’ve worked with the Cámara de Comercio de Bogotá to guide 110+ brands in collection development and communication strategies for Bogotá Fashion Week.

My portfolio includes collaborations with C&A Brazil, Miami Design District, LAFS, and The Future Laboratory.

As Head of Research at Mate House, I help clients in fashion, beauty, and entertainment refine their brand DNA through trend-driven strategies and insights into emerging audience expectations. My expertise in visual inspiration and user profiling empowers clients to create impactful campaigns and products.

My freelance experience includes bespoke trend tours and forecasting reports for organizations like Trendwatching, The Marriott Group, Lateral Thinking, PSFK, and Eclectic Trends.

For over 16 years, I’ve mentored postgraduate and undergraduate students at leading design and business schools in Barcelona and Warsaw.

I serve as Academic Program Manager and Ambassador for the FUTURE DAYS Think Tank and annual event, am a board advisor for Fashion Cares, and a visionary member of Trend Atelier.

With 25+ years in global textile and fashion industries, my roles have included Senior Print Designer at Nautical International, Senior Textile Designer at JB Martin Co. Inc. velvets, and freelance designer for fashion and home textiles.
