I’m a Barcelona-based illustrator and have worked with several newspapers and magazines such as El Punt Avui, 20 Minutos, El Periódico, FCBarcelona Kids and Nació Digital. I have also illustrated many children’s and young adult publications for publishers such as Richmond, Santillana, Planeta, Cruïlla and Edicions 62.
To consolidate my interest in applying illustration to the digital field, in 2003 I co-founded PixelGo developer specializing in Flash videogames and applications. We created different games for clients such as Planeta and TV3 (the Catalan public TV channel) and, through Verizon, we were pioneers in distributing a game in Flash Lite for mobile phones in the U.S.
I later returned to the world of freelancing, illustrating various applications and games for all types of digital platforms, including Facebook (Flash), iOs, Android and Windows Phone for clients such as Digital Chocolate, Playtales, L’Auditori de Barcelona and Multiactiva.
In 2013 I was awarded a Junceda prize for my work on a series of apps for iOs called “Monsters Band” produced by LaTroupe Studio. This year 2016 I returned to be awarded again thanks to my press illustrations on the digital magazine “Esguard”.
