Mariana Andrade is a senior creative & product designer based in Madrid.
Most designers pick a side: brand or product, creative or strategic. She has spent 13+ years refusing to pick. She has led creative and product design for a global e-commerce company, presented work directly to CEOs, and directed creative work for Google, Netflix and Nestlé.
Today she works freelance, with companies that need a senior partner. She is also a Top 1% ADPList mentor and the creator of the experimental íris zine.
