The project started with me working with the CEO to understand the idea, the market, and the customers, define the business model, and to communicate it to the team through wireframes and prototypes.
The user story:
Early wireframes:
The remote team discusses the design and sends it back to me with their ideas and concerns.
Diverse opinions make the product better. I listen to all doubts and suggestions, and either dispel or resolve them.
We've got a democracy: if the majority doesn't support a design solution, it doesn't pass through. So I have to provide very good rationales to convince the team.

Having started with rough wireframes, we arrived to the high-fidelity mockups through the process of successive improvements.
Working on mockups with responsive, relative and flow layout, and paying attention to the grid and the spacing system.
Through the mobile app construction equipment owners find job offers from various sources, apply for those offers or contact the job posters.
As the MVP is up and running, I'm currently working with the Rental Club team to observe users behavior, imagine new features, explore variations, and ship them while still iterating on those features.

Alguin Jewelry Box
The problem. When you sell bijouterie and silver jewelry you want to wrap it in nice packaging, but you don't want to spend as much money as the jewelry itself. Which appeared to be the case. So I had to design a unique and pretty, yet budgetary wrapper, using the jewelry brand's logotype:
The solution: to make a box with a single A4 paper. It doesn't require glue to assemble. It's easy to disassemble, transport, and reassemble again. And there is even space for business cards and marketing materials.
The box can be printed in any color and still stay recognizable.
The purple box was decorated by my little nieces. The red pattern below was designed by the artist Carlos Navarro, and the other three by myself.
