FS: Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
JG: Ever since I was very young I wanted to be a designer or do something related with Design, I spent most of my days illustrating and testing different techniques of paintings, arts and crafts and I wanted to learn more about composition and art history, but after a few years I found my true passion in Digital Design.

JG: Pleased with my work, but I always start to think about new ways to improve that design.

FS: What makes a design successful?

JG: Know your design style and own it, don't be afraid to try new techniques, never stop learning and upgrading yourself.

FS: Designing can sometimes be a really time consuming task, how do you manage your time?
JG: It's all about planning, resources and organization. I spend my mornings planning for the day and the sprint, making sure all resources and designers are allocated for each project, and include some time for unpredictable last minute events.

FS: How long does it take to design an object from beginning to end?
JG: Depends on the object, some projects take hours some take days, on Product design we usually take 2 weeks to 1 month per project.
