Hi, I’m Laura. Every day, I’m driven by the vision of a world where everyone has access to exceptional and efficient experiences, products, and services. As a designer and co-founder of Coombo, a strategic design cooperative, I specialize in transforming complex challenges into intuitive, impactful solutions. My work is rooted in research, social innovation, and intentional design, ensuring that every product or service I create is effective and meaningful for users and communities. I thrive in remote, multicultural settings, collaborating effectively across time zones and diverse teams. With experience across various design scales—product, service, digital, and visual design—I’m committed to crafting a more sustainable and inclusive future through design. I’m currently seeking remote opportunities in Europe or projects focused on social innovation.
