Joey Zeledón
Designer
Barcelona, SpainI often wonder how to make the mundane a little more magical. To bring some levity to the objects we surround ourselves with. (I haven’t mastered levitation). And to bend our expectations of what our daily reality can be.
I’ve led design teams at Clarks, Continuum, Smart Design, Steelcase, and HP. My design work has been recognized with over 40 awards and featured in Design Milk, Dezeen, Fast Company, Interior Design, New York Times, TASCHEN and Wired.
