Alejandro Castro

Senior Digital Designer & Art Director

Madrid, Spain
For me design is the perfect balance between form and function. Something useful can shape our reality and as designers we have the duty, through form, to make that change clear, direct, and why not, visually elevated.

I feel closely linked to the design of digital publishing and media products. Throughout my career I have collected points of view from different sectors that have led me to understand a small part of what moves us as human beings. For this reason I seek to add value by creating visual narratives where people can identify a message and make it their own.
