In this episode of Built in Barcelona, Kris talks with Claudia Aran, founder of Aran Studio and former brand design lead at Typeform and Flodesk.

They dive into:

• Claudia’s journey from in-house designer to agency founder

• The bold leap of leaving a stable job to launch her own studio

• What “design maturity” really means — and why it’s critical to business success

• Her mission to uplift women in design, in a space where only 0.1% of agencies are women-owned

• Life in Barcelona, from creative inspiration to go-to local spots

💬 Quote to remember:

"Design maturity is about how deeply a company understands and integrates design into everything it does—not just how it looks, but how it works and how it connects with people."
