In My Own Words

Hi there. I'm Ignacio, multidisciplinary senior designer.

I’ve been cooking design projects through the years and in different locations such Spain, China (7 years) and these days in Malta (Europe), for many international clients, B2B, agencies and freelancing. Helping sometimes big teams, sometimes smaller, but always with passion and dedication.

I work on so many different things, some of them I’d like to show you on my online portfolio here: https://nachogisbert.com/profile

Thank you

Ignacio Gisbert
