Hey, I'm Nicolás Cortés

Designer specialized in Service, Systems and Speculative Design.

MY DESIGN PRACTICE

SYSTEMS TRANSLATION

Applied Service design, speculative futures, and organizational and product structures to surface hidden dependencies, map ecosystem relationships and turn abstract strategy into concrete delivery.

RELATIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Fluidity with stakeholder facilitation, navigating power dynamics and designing for the emotional and political landscape of consultancy work. These are the dimensions that determine whether strategy actually lands.

SPEED THROUGH CLARITY

Resolve ambiguity early (whether through service blueprints, user journeys, or workshop facilitation) so teams can move fast without moving blindly.

About

I design systems and futures for organizations navigating complexity, moving fluidly between reductive precision and ecosystem thinking. Zooming into the technical detail when execution demands it, and pulling back to map dependencies, power dynamics, and unintended consequences when the system itself is the constraint, is my strongest ability.
