My superpower? Speaking two languages at once.
"I don't just design screens; I design visual languages that bridge the gap between imagination and production."
I'm Alberto Ortega, a Visual Designer & Design Systems Specialist with seven years of experience as a Fullstack Developer. My unique value lies in my technical bilingualism: I understand both the skeleton of code and the soul of visual storytelling thanks to my background in Illustration.
I don't just design screens; I build scalable visual languages that eliminate friction between departments. My approach merges engineering precision with artistic sensibility to create atomic systems that developers love to implement and users love to use.

Education
Higher Technician in Illustration
Escuela de Arte y Superior de Diseño de Alicante (EASDA)
2005
Advanced training in Graphic and Audiovisual Communication. During this period, I developed the foundations of my visual judgment, mastering color theory, composition, and creative thinking applied to solving visual problems. This artistic foundation is what brings sensitivity and aesthetic appeal to my interfaces today.
