I’m a psychologist by background, trained in market research. These days, I help creative minds cut through the mental noise, get their thoughts organized, and build a clear, actionable plan.
I also work in practical strategy for creators and businesses, with a big focus on independent and indie projects.
Currently based in Barcelona, Spain. Excited to be part of the community and jump into the discussions!
Hi Xavi Ramirez! It's great to have someone with your background join the community! Psychology and market research are a unique combination, and I can see how those skills would be incredibly valuable in helping creatives bring clarity to their ideas and turn them into actionable plans. Independent creators often wear many hats, so having someone who can help simplify the process is a huge asset. As you get settled in, I'd recommend taking a look at the Stage 32 Navigation Guide.
