Juan Escallon

Digital Product Designer

London, United Kingdom
Hey there! I’m Juan Escallon, a digital product designer and researcher living in London who's passionate about visual creation, innovation and pasta pomodoro. I started designing and creating things since i was 15 years old, maybe that can explain why i am the only Colombian who doesn't know how to dance. My career path has taken me to different places like Madrid and the biggest game changer for me, London where i studied my masters degree in Digital Media and Technology. Currently I help to shape and design a social learning experience at FutureLearn,
