Jorge Polo

Hi! I’m Jorge, Brand & Product designer based in Madrid.

I love helping people grow their business through design, technology and communication.

_about me

For the past 6 years, I’ve focused on product design for startups, always keeping an eye on marketing and branding. Understanding business needs, identifying user problems, and communicating the product’s unique value have been my main tasks. I’m passionate about combining all of this to deliver design solutions for product (UX/UI), marketing (social media content and ads, sales materials), and business (branding, pitch creation).

A decade of freelancing gave me the experience to tackle projects independently and collaborate with other professionals when necessary. I’ve had the fortune to work on a wide range of projects, touching nearly every design area: web design, scenography, 3D mapping, motion graphics videos, infographics, graphic production, editorial design, and more.

I believe my experience gives me a holistic view of how design can benefit all areas of a business, regardless of scale. Whether in a leadership role or as an individual contributor, I enjoy immersing myself in my work, collaborating with my teammates, and helping wherever I can.

_experience

My journey into design began after I earned my bachelor’s degree in advertising and public relations. During my first job as a marketing intern at a small agency, I was captivated by the design team—their tools, creativity, and the energy they brought to the table. I knew that was where I belonged. So, I invested in my first MacBook Pro, downloaded Illustrator, and dove headfirst into digital illustration and design.

My first role as a creative designer opened the door to a decade of freelancing. I designed logos, infographics, websites, and social media content for a wide range of clients—from small businesses to major corporations. Each project sharpened my skills and expanded my experience, building the foundation for the professional I am today.

In 2017, I channeled my passion for tech into co-founding a startup called Boxrun, an urban courier app for individuals and small businesses. After two years of building and launching the MVP, we decided to close the company, but the experience gave me invaluable lessons in product design. To solidify my skills, I completed a UX/UI Bootcamp and also explored frontend development, adding HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to my toolkit.

For the last four years, I’ve been working as a Product Designer in PropTech companies like Rive.es, Kodit.io, and Holalucas.es. Collaborating with engineers and stakeholders to design new features based on user feedback, while also supporting marketing teams with campaign creation and copywriting.
