Hello, I’m Carles — a Barcelona-based senior graphic designer working across Spain and the United Kingdom. My practice focuses on branding, editorial design, and typography, creating concept-led visual systems with a strong typographic voice.
Alongside my studio work, I have held long-term teaching roles at IED Barcelona, lecturing in corporate identity, typography, and editorial design at both undergraduate and master’s level. My work has been recognized with Laus Awards (ADG-FAD) and by D&AD.
