A little about me

Designer by practice.
Curious by nature.

Eva Illescas smiling

Hi, I’m Eva.
I care about the people
behind the product.

I’m a product designer and strategist with experience across large organizations and startups. My work has taken me from Spain to Dublin, Seattle, and California.

I enjoy turning complex challenges into meaningful experiences, bringing teams together, and guiding work from early ideas through post-launch iteration.

Outside of design, you’ll find me making things with power tools, collaborating on side projects, or cooking pancakes on Saturdays—a family tradition.

Co-founder, Work on Climate

In 2020, I co-founded Work on Climate, a nonprofit helping people find ways to contribute to climate solutions through their work. As a board member, I help shape the organization’s direction and contribute hands-on design work.
