Portrait of Rubén Reyes

Info

I’m Rubén Reyes, a web and UX/UI designer based in Madrid, with 10+ years of experience across fashion, retail, graphic and digital design.

I trained in fashion design and started my career in that world. It taught me proportion, finish and a close eye for product — the same standard I now bring to interfaces.

Over the last years I’ve moved fully into digital: UX/UI, e-commerce and Shopify, corporate websites and brand identity, from agencies to my own studio.

I combine visual judgement with structure and commercial thinking. I’ve worked with catalogue, stock and conversion data, so I design with the numbers in mind, not just the moodboard.

Today I’m looking to join agencies and in-house teams, full-time or through long-term collaborations, where design is expected to look right and to perform.
