I am an Interior Designer graduated from LCI Barcelona in 2025, with a background in scenic and performance lighting; disciplines that shape my understanding of space as an experience rather than an object. My starting point is always analysis and drawing: every line is a way of thinking, exploring and testing each decision before materializing it. I seek to create living, authentic and deeply memorable spaces, transforming every space into a sensory experience with purpose and intention.

Spanish designer specialized in product and furniture design. She studied Industrial Design Engineering and Product Development in Seville and later specialized in Furniture Design at the Politecnico di Milano. Her goal as a designer is to create pieces that tell a story and establish a connection with the user, without compromising on functional purpose. Her projects are distinguished by a strong use of color and organic forms. Her creative process draws inspiration from Spanish culture, integrating tradition and innovation, both in form and in the choice of materials. In this journey, research and observation are fundamental elements in the design of objects that to have a strong identity and a deep emotional connection.

Kosovo-based architect, designer, and founder of the award-winning multidisciplinary studio SHAPE & SHADE. His work bridges architecture, product design, and urban thinking, translating local memory and cultural heritage into contemporary forms. With his debut product, the BOLD Shkam chair, he gained international recognition through multiple global awards and exhibitions, positioning Kosovo-rooted design on the international stage. Ibrahim’s projects range from urban masterplans and housing concepts to experimental objects and installations. Alongside his practice, he teaches design, mentors young creatives, and actively builds platforms that strengthen the regional design ecosystem. His approach is guided by one belief: local identity is not limitation, but future potential.

Born in 2005, Jakša is an industrial design student on the School of design program at Faculty of architecture Zagreb, blending technology, art and sustainability. With a media background, he indulges in projects like the open-source “Bojan” inkjet printer alongside visual communications and typography works. His designs have been showcased at DA! Festival and KOMBO Festival.

I’m Jana Valdé Cusachs, a graphic designer and emerging artist based in Barcelona. I graduated from ELISAVA Faculty of Design and Engineering, where I developed a practice that moves between graphic design, art direction, and sensory design. My work explores the relationship between the body, perception, and communication through experimental formats that combine visual language, materials, and physical experience. I’m especially interested in how design can engage with social realities while remaining playful, poetic, and emotionally resonant. My latest project, Bleh! Ode to the Tongue, investigates oral perception, macroglossia, and childhood therapy through food design and graphic identity, transforming therapeutic exercises into joyful sensory interactions. Through my practice, I aim to create projects that connect care, expression, and design.

Designer currently based in Berlin, Germany, with a focus on experience design, data-driven design and visual narratives. Recently graduated with a Master’s in Visual & Experience Design at the University of Europe for Applied Sciences, working on projects that create experiences that are intentional and impactful addressing issues from echo chambers in media consumption to the climate crisis. With a background in graphic design, I’m now transitioning into the UX and product design field, with a deep interest in designing products and experiences that drive social good and cultivate well-being.

Architect and founder of Aakriti Atelier, working at the intersection of architecture, ecology, and digital design. Trained at IAAC in Barcelona, her work explores how urban systems can integrate biodiversity through scalable, technology-driven interventions. Her projects move beyond static buildings toward adaptive ecological frameworks, combining spatial design with simulation tools. Through BEASTIE, she develops a platform that enables users to design, visualize, and evaluate biodiversity interventions within existing urban environments. Her approach focuses on transforming everyday spaces into active ecological infrastructures that support multispecies coexistence.

Designer based in Graz with a background in art and a focus on human-centred, socially aware design. She explores how products, systems, and experiences can support people in meaningful and responsible ways. Through research and hands-on experimentation, she investigates how design can gently shape behaviour and make complex challenges more tangible. She is particularly interested in work that connects function with empathy and contributes to more sustainable and balanced ways of living.

Industrial Designer currently pursuing his Master’s Degree in Eco-Innovative Design at the University of Applied Sciences in Graz, Austria. Alongside his work as a designer, he serves as a volunteer EMT and is an active member of the Scout movement. These commitments shape not just his values, but the way he works. His approach is grounded in a single question: Is this necessary? Trained to prioritize under pressure, to acieve more with less and to put others’ interests before his own, Niki brings a combination of pragmatism and precision to the design process, which enables him to find simple solutions for complex problems.
