ABOUT
Hey! I'm happy you're here. I'm Ashley.
For more than 10 years I've had the pleasure of collaborating with teams building things that matter, creating brand identities for AI and data platforms, designing product interfaces used by millions of drivers, crafting pitch decks for series C fundraising rounds and conference stages, and so much more in between.
I grew up in Barcelona (Spain), started my career at agencies in the US and eventually went independent, a decision I've never once regretted.
Clients along the way have included VAST Data, Sonatus, Telenav, IDVerse and HP, and I've delivered over 800 projects across brand, product, and presentation design without missing a single deadline. Now I'm working remotely with B2B tech, SaaS, AI, and fintech companies and startups across the US and UK.
When I'm not deep in a rebrand, obsessing over a type scale, or mentally redesigning a pitch deck I spotted on a Tuesday evening, I like hiking, reading my 29032th business book or learning new languages (Japanese, here we go!).
