MAKERMARTINEZ/BARCELONA — 2026

I turn ideas
into things
that exist.

Nacho Martínez Barrio is a multidisciplinary creative, strategist and builder based in Barcelona.

I work at the intersection of creativity, technology, communication, culture and entrepreneurship — especially when an idea needs momentum.

CREATIVITY × TECHNOLOGY × COMMUNICATION × CULTURE × ENTREPRENEURSHIP

01 / ABOUT

One person.
Many disciplines.
One common thread.

  • Photographer
  • Filmmaker
  • Creative
  • Strategist
  • Communicator
  • Educator
  • Founder
  • Community builder
  • Product builder

My work has always moved across disciplines.

What connects it all is a curiosity for ideas — understanding them, shaping them, connecting the right people and tools around them, and helping them become real.

I spent 12 years at Apple working around creativity, technology, communication, learning and customer experience.

Since then, I have continued building projects across photography, culture, sport, ecommerce, software, communities and digital products.

02 / PROJECTS

Things I've built,
made or set in motion.

Some became companies.
Some became communities.
Some became photographs, products, tools or experiments.
All started as an idea.

03 / PROCESS

Ideas need momentum.

  1. IDEA
  2. CONNECT
  3. BUILD
  4. ACTIVATE
  5. ITERATE

I tend to move naturally between strategy and execution.

Sometimes that means defining the idea. Sometimes finding the people. Sometimes making the content. Sometimes building the prototype. Sometimes creating the system around it.

Usually, it's a combination of all of them.

I'm most useful when something is still taking shape.

04 / BACKGROUND

12 years at Apple
shaped how I think.

CREATIVITY
× TECHNOLOGY
× PEOPLE
× EXPERIENCE

More than a decade inside Apple taught me how technology becomes useful when people understand it, how ideas scale through systems, how communication changes experiences, and how much execution matters.

I worked across creativity, communication, learning, product storytelling and customer experience in one of the world's most demanding brand environments.

Since then, I have applied that mindset to my own projects, organisations, brands and communities.

SELECTED CONTEXT

Along the way, my work has intersected with organisations, brands and media including:
