about.
I was born in Barcelona, Spain. Barcelona is located in the region of Catalonia historically known for it’s textile industry. Following the family tradition I joined my father and brother working at the textile factory that my grandfather had founded in 1947 during Franco’s dictatorship.
After two years tending to the knitting machines and printing fabrics, I came to the realization that working as a factory operator was a rather repetitive and monotonous task. Therefore, I went back to school and obtained a B.F.A in Communication Design with a minor in Art History and a M.S. in Prof. Media and Media Mgmt. Studies. View or download my resume.
In 2003, while pursuing my B.F.A. I was hired by Evolution Multimedia, a multimedia and web development agency. There I translated my graphic design skills into the web medium. I remained with the company for 3 years while pursuing my B.F.A. At the end of 2006, I left Evolution Multimedia to form Sixoneeight, L.L.C.
As a web designer and developer I strive to create user-friendly interfaces with an emphasis on information architecture and web standards compliant code. My aim is to help the web development community become more standardized and therefore spend more time designing and programming rather than debugging.
