I am Marcoa Designeran Educatora Speakera Change-agent

Experienced creative lead and design professional, currently on a mission to reach the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 and along the way educate young talent and seasoned professionals in design, tech & social innovation to thrive in and obtain the right mindset for a truly sustainable future.

I CREATE, TEACH and SPEAK about transformation design, digital society, human(ity) centered design + how we can collaborate across cultures and borders in order to build a global innovation chain to finally tackle those global challenges from local perspectives.

I have co-founded the Digital Society School, the Design Across Cultures programme and the growing community of the Global Goals Jam, with the United Nations Development Programme: 70+ cities and over 2500 design activists that use their creative skills for the benefit of the SDG’s and society. In this light I am also a Community Liaison for the World Design Organization, responsible for advocating life-long learning and promoting design for the SDG’s. I am also a proud advisory board member for DOT in Spain and visiting professor at IE University in Madrid.

In the past I have co-founded and headed a digital agency and strategic design consultancy and took seat in the board of the international Design & Emotion Society for over 10 years. I am happy to have worked with companies such as Unilever, P&G, Bic, Decathlon, KLM, Philips, Mars, ING, Pepsico and to have given crash courses and guest lectures at many universities/ organisations around the world.

Please contact me if you want to collaborate and partner up to design a better world.
