about.
hello!
i’m Xènia
I am an Industrial Design Engineer based in Barcelona, currently pursuing a Master’s in Industrial Design Engineering in Scandinavia.
I enjoy working across the full design process, from sketching and concept development to 3D modeling, prototyping, and refining details. Hands-on making and attention to materials and finishes are what inspire me the most. I thrive in collaborative, interdisciplinary environments where I can learn, experiment, and continuously improve as a designer.
