Who will you work with day-to-day?
You'll work directly with our small studio team, with senior involvement throughout the project. On most projects you'll have a clear day-to-day contact (often Montse) supported by the wider team as needed. At the start, we agree how we'll communicate - for example, regular meetings, email updates or online calls.
For larger projects this might include a project manager and strategy meetings; for smaller projects it may be more informal check-ins.

Direct collaboration.

We work closely with founders, product teams, marketers, and engineers, often inside their same Slack, Figma, GitHub, Teams, or product workflows they already use.

Fast feedback loops.

Regular calls, daily or near-daily updates, and clear review cycles keep decisions moving and reduce costly rework later.

“I highly recommend Balbuena Design. Montse played a key role in our organisation's UI/UX overhaul and our efforts to elevate our online presence.

Her expertise was crucial in the redesign of our portal and platform. Most importantly, she brought the team together throughout the process, ensuring all perspectives and considerations were addressed”
