Teaching

His teaching approach is grounded in professional practice, with particular emphasis on the relationship between design concepts, technical development and construction processes. He aims to introduce students to the realities of professional design projects, from the initial conceptual stages through to their realisation.

Professional experience

His experience covers the various stages of yacht interior design projects, from initial concept development and spatial planning to furniture design, lighting, visualisations and technical documentation for construction. He has contributed to projects of different scales, ranging from medium-sized vessels to superyachts over 80 metres in length, also taking part in project coordination and delivery.

In 2025, he founded Atelier Cala, a yacht interior design studio based in Barcelona, where he serves as Founder and Design Director. The studio develops bespoke projects for yacht owners, shipyards and professional teams, with particular attention to light, materials, comfort and spatial quality.
