Innovation is: staying in touch with our roots.

Welcome, I'm Mar.

She/her. Curious mindIartist from Barcelona, born in 1994

I embody various elements and life experiences, but professionally, I identify as a storyteller (filmmaker), creative producer + design futures consultant

My multidisciplinary background triggers me to jump into projects that aim to shape our society and world meaningfully (innovation, art, research, culture, education, tech).

Blending expertises, questioning, researching,
thinking and crafting out of the box

As a dot connector, strategist, creative, and consultant, I will zoom in and out of your projects to understand and co-design a meaningful connection with your audience

My methodology harnesses the power of human stories and human-centred design thinking

My story

Mar Gimeno Lumbiarres (she/her)
December 16th, 1994, Barcelona

With a Storytelling and Communications career in my backpack (Cinema + Photography studies and working with cinema directors, music publishing figures, etc) my life took another turn when I discovered my passion: bringing stories out of the screen. I am captivated by how narratives can help us connect with new mindsets, fostering enriching social transitions for a better present and future.

Because we aim to connect with the emotions of humans, my methodology comes from a merged practice involving human-centered DESIGN THINKING and potential STORYTELLING.
My goal? Create narratives that may engage children and adults, and provoke a
reaction.

Today I am a freelancer and help individuals and collectives connect with their audiences (from content creation to strategy design). At the same time, I am an active team member of revolutionary projects such as Garage Stories (innovation lab for positive impact use case with storytelling+emerging tech) and the International Exhibition of Craft Audio-visuals (CCAM/Generalitat de Catalunya).

The DNA of your project.

Innovate, look ahead into the future, but always remind of your roots and the people you are impacting in this present.

Let’s meet and co-create. We’ll use the tools of STORYTELLING and DESIGN THINKING to connect with your desired audiences. All formats of projects are valid! Remember that we are always aiming to connect with people and their emotions.

Let’s team up!

First, we’ll sit and talk.
We’ll understand your project’s roots, purposes, values, and DNA. Following this, we’ll draft a strategic plan and a narrative to ensure engagement and anticipated responses from your audiences.

At this point, you’ll be equipped with a new set of tools to move forward on your own (yay! :D). However, if you prefer, you can always hire me to manage your content creation and continue our collaboration for a bit longer.

Highlights*

*I recently completed the «Erasmus For Young Entrepreneurs» grant, a 6-month exchange program designed to help entrepreneurs build networks overseas. I partnered with Studio C.A.R.E., a radical interior design/happenings studio, and with RNUL, a storytelling and interactive design studio, both based in Rotterdam (NL).

Initially, I planned to explore the fusion of storytelling and physical spaces as part of the grant, but the experience evolved into a research path for my methodology and art practice. I delved into the potential of «physical ecosystems», provoking audiences and exploring areas such as social design, circularity, modularity, gamification and interactivity.
