Hey, I'm Nicolás Cortés

Designer specialized in Service, Systems and Speculative Design.

MY DESIGN PRACTICE

SYSTEMS THINKING

Applied Service design, speculative futures, and organizational and product structures. From identifying feedback loops, recgonizing structures of hidden behaviours in complex systems, to rigorous applications of design.

NURTURE RELATIONSHIPS

Stakeholder and client relationships. My consultancy work is focused on rigorous alignment of the problem at hand and the user outcomes we expect in the projects, driving decisions for products and services.

CLARITY OVER SPEED

I always aim to resolve ambiguity early (with the use of varoious artifacts or design devices or AI frameworks) so teams can move fast with steady decision making and visibilty.

CONCEPTUAL MINDSET

I help build the architecture for the design, the process, the system or the service. Decision trees, service blueprints, semantic hierarchies. Structure as strategy before AI or high fidelity design.

CLIENTS FEEDBACK

About

I like to explore, imagine and design systems and futures for organizations, products and the people within them. I'm more interested in architecture and choreographer mindsets over the custodian or gatekeeper role. I'm a firm believer that design is a set of decisions we make, and those decisions are to be determined with a system sense.
