ANDREA BERTRAN

About

I’m a Creative Technologist and Architect living in Madrid.

I’m currently working as a Product Designer and in my free time I like to develop tools and strategies for Design Research. I am interested in working with emerging technologies, data-driven, and installations for creating experiences and finding alternative solutions.

What can you read on the following lines? My background but most importantly, my interests and experiences. I’d be glad to have coffee with you sometime and talk about ideas and opportunities.
