Jose Gómez is a Spanish designer based in between Berlin and London with an extended background in Visual Arts and Product Design.
His exposure to the variety of functional design practices and disciplines, and his effort to remind open to the relationship between them became his principle design value: in all the visual works, there is a human sensitivity that defines the result.
For more than 15 years, this learning process had a lot of different stages- Co-found an established Design Studio, work for different companies, or teach workshops in different disciplines and places. He has done projects for clients such as Aston Martin, Mercedes, Nike, Tiffany&Co or Design Miami among others.
The learning process itself and the neverending refining of his skill set as an individual in a constantly changing environment is what motivates Jose to produce meaningful and delicate content.
