—AI-Enhanced Futures Designer
Buenos Aires ↔ Madrid
Your organization navigates uncertain futures. I build prototypes and design fiction artifacts that turn research into decisions you can actually act on.
Through BPP Analytics & Design, we combine research, futures design, and experimentation to support high-stakes strategic choices. I designed the Emerging Technologies course for UDIT Madrid’s Online Master’s in UX Design, and run workshops for design teams working with AI and futures methods. At Heated Studio, I help organizations imagine and prototype new climate futures.
Previously at Near Future Laboratory and Girardin & Nova, I’ve delivered design fiction projects for global clients across telecommunications, finance, defense, and mobility — turning abstract risk into artifacts teams can argue about.
I document futures design methods and experiments through Otros Futuros, a YouTube channel where speculative thinking becomes tangible practice. I also publish MARGIN.SIGNALS, an independent publication tracking early signals from cultural margins before they harden into mainstream trends.
Working on something that doesn’t have a clear future yet? Let’s talk (send email).
A 100-year-old market, a city that keeps changing, a climate that doesn’t wait. Design fiction for San Telmo’s next chapter.
Sportswear for a 40°C+ world. A Heated Studio design fiction that gives retailers and brands something tangible to argue about before the heat arrives.
Museums as climate infrastructure. A prototype exploring what happens when cultural institutions have to choose between their mission and their survival.
Buenos Aires is aging. This design fiction reimagines what care looks like when the system built for the 20th century runs out of answers.
Spain, near future. Climate refugees arriving faster than the institutions designed to receive them. A design fiction for the gap between policy and reality.
Food as a futures problem. What climate, culture, and politics are doing to what we eat — and what comes next.
Cities adapting to a climate that didn’t ask permission. Projects with students, institutions, and communities in Madrid and Buenos Aires.
Essays, workshops, and frameworks. How to think about what comes next when the patterns stop working.
Futures design, design fiction, speculative design.
I’m a futures designer. I build prototypes and speculative artifacts for organizations that have to make decisions without knowing what comes next.
Weak signals from the present. Futures thinking methods. Speculative experiments, live. The orientation is toward making things: show future, don’t tell future.
What I’ve learned, what I’ve applied, what I’m still testing. From practice.
New content every week.
An independent publication tracking weak signals from cultural margins — before they reshape your industry.
Release 001: SPECIALTY.COFFEE.MARGINS
What happens when coffee's margins challenge its center? This trendspotting fanzine explores master plant protocols, intentional defect fermentation, and decolonised cupping—patterns of hierarchy inversion you'll see elsewhere soon.

A habitable sound space. Your cursor is your position—move toward a corner and a sound emerges, move away and it fades. The center breathes.
Specialty coffee guide for Madrid.
Practical guide to home coffee equipment.
Design emerging-technology curricula for UDIT’s Online Master’s in UX Design—authored a 6-ECTS course that moves students from Science and Technology Studies and philosophy of technology to speculative prototyping, with AI as a running case study and each student working on a technology from their own field.
Coordinate collaborative experiments that help teams understand forced mundanity through ethnographic methods and design interventions—creating research frameworks you can apply to your own contexts.
Prepare your organization for climate futures through design fiction prototypes and strategic foresight—turning abstract climate risks into tangible strategies your team can test.
Your organization needs intelligence that anticipates change. We combine sociological research with futures design to transform uncertainty into strategic clarity and actionable insights.
Delivered design fiction projects that helped global telecoms, financial services, and defense organizations navigate sector transformation—methods now documented in published frameworks you can apply.
Explored emerging tech futures for mobility sectors through design fiction—creating prototypes that helped organizations anticipate societal transformation before it arrived.
Delivered a talk and hands-on activity on climate design fiction for spatial design master’s students visiting Madrid—introducing future mundane methods and diegetic artefacts, using Matadero as a living case study.
Equipped UX designers with AI-enhanced design fiction methods through intensive masterclass with Fabien Girardin and Rohit Gupta—giving students practical tools to anticipate emerging technology impacts in their work.
Guided design students to develop speculative urban futures for extreme heat scenarios—teaching weak signals analysis and climate foresight methods they can apply throughout their careers.
Presented frameworks for integrating futures design into public policy—proposing a Futures Anticipation Unit that helps government navigate uncertainty through institutional design fiction.
