Hi, I’m Raquel Villa, a visual artist and designer.
Originally from Spain and with a background in architecture, I investigate digitally simulated systems that play with strange physics and misbehaving materials.
Since 2025, I’ve been freelancing between Madrid, London, Berlin and remotely, working with studios and clients including Arca, The Weeknd, Lancôme, Nike.
Previously, I spent four years as a senior designer at XK studio in London, contributing to projects for Apple, Biotherm, Google DeepMind, Hublot, Shiseido.
Always open to collaborations and ideas that might not fully make sense yet :)
