Adaptable by design, collaborative by nature, and passionate about bringing concepts to life.
Hi, I’m Elisabet.
I’m currently looking for a full-time Junior Designer position.
I’m a 23-year-old design enthusiast originally from Barcelona, Spain. Recently, I completed my studies at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, earning two Bachelor’s degrees, one in Industrial Design and Product Development, and another in Mechanical Engineering.
Driven by curiosity and stepping beyond the comforts of home, this last year I have been based in three different countries – Spain, The Netherlands and Switzerland (my current home).
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Eindhoven, The Netherlands
Product Design Intern ❘ Oct. 2022 – Mar. 2023
My 6-month internship at VanBerlo provided me with a diverse perspective on the design domain, allowing me to engage with an array of projects as well as develop my skills. This encompassed areas ranging from industrial design to potential endeavors in consumer goods, prototyping, engineering, internal projects, and beyond. During this time, I also had the chance to lead a project for three months.
“Elisabet was one of our more talented trainees, her creative skills were as good as our junior designers.
During this period we got to know her as a very pleasant person. She is ambitious with a good drive and energy and is a very fast learner. Elisabet has a good level in all the essential skills you’d expect from a designer and pays a high attention to detail on top of that. She is a communicative person and has a very positive, radiant attitude.”

Design Engineer Intern ❘ Jul. 2021 – Aug. 2022
Throughout my first internship experience at Nacar, a strategic design Agency, I was in-house at Hewlett-Packard (HP) for over a year. This period was spent within the 3D Printing Experience Design team located in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona.
This hands-on experience provided me the opportunity to dive into a variety of 3D printing techniques and machinery, ranging from plastic to metal, and to explore diverse fields including product design, user experience, digital and graphic design. Additionally, I had the chance to autonomously drive a project of my own for a consecutive six-month period.
“We have been extremely pleased with Elisabet’s interest and motivation towards her assignments. She has been of great value to our team, fitting well into the group as well as showing the ability to work well on her own.
She has developed her skills in new design tools and alternative design techniques, as well as emerging new materials and manufacturing techniques. Elisabet shows a genuine passion for her work, which is clearly evident in the quality of her deliverables. I believe that in the future she will be a valuable asset to any design team.”
