Since October 2019 I lead the Graphic and Storytelling team of El País, in Madrid. During the last four years I worked as a Graphics Reporter for special projects in The Wall Street Journal, in New York, and I started and led the Infographic and Data Visualization Department of Univision News in Miami. Before moving to the United States, I spent fourteen years working at the two most prominent national daily newspapers in Spain: El Mundo and El País.
My work has been recognized with the AAAS Kavli Science Journalism award (2021), the Ortega y Gasset journalism award (2021) and "The Best Of Show” of the Malofiej infographics award for the globally known visual article “A room, a bar and a classroom: how the coronavirus is spread through the air”. I have also won more than 40 international awards (Society for News Design, NH and Malofiej. I am also a regular contributor for the International Consortium of Investigative Journal- ists (ICIJ), with which I have participated in several investigative projects that have received global attention, such as “Swiss Leaks” and “Luxembourg Leaks”.
My passion for my work has increased throughout the years and I believe my best work is yet to come. Teamwork is indispensable to me and it has provided me with a wider perspective. Thanks to my colleagues I am a better professional.
Although I conceive all kinds of projects, I have a predilection for breaking news graphics. I consider them the dynamo of my profession. I am ardent about extracting the very best of my skills in the shortest time possible. I am always building up so that my next graphic is superior than the last. I am currently passionate about cartography and the design and programming of interactive graphics for mobile.
