OVERVIEW

Nacho trained as a product designer at ​IED Barcelona before completing a double master's in Innovation Design Engineering at the ​Royal College of Art and ​Imperial College London. He pursued a third master's in Big Data in Culture and Society at ​King's College London. His PhD at Imperial's ​Dyson School of Design Engineering investigated how people form feelings of psychological ownership over their digital data — developing frameworks that translate behavioural research into actionable design principles for data-centric products.

Over the past years he has applied this approach across domains: gamified health interventions for children, data ownership interfaces, and AI ethics toolkits — collaborating with psychologists, engineers, and policy teams. He has taught behavioural design methods to students at ​Imperial College and advanced research methods at ​King's College.
