Language skills
My native language is Spanish. I am fluent in English.Soft skills
Empathy I am warm and welcoming to others, which naturally tends to foster an environment where individuals feel at ease collaborating, embracing their authenticity and prioritizing human connections.
Active and open listener of others' perspectives, with respect and kindness.
Capable of recognizing and integrating the value of others' creative input, by taking a distance and a second glance to overcome preconceptions.
Proficient in looking the whole of the project from within, in order to know what to do in order to go forward, and to manage the overall arch of the design processes.
