Since 2007, he is the Final Projects Director of Felicidad Duce - LCI Barcelona. He is an honorary professor at the Fashion Institute of Design in Beijing and he has given workshops on creative techniques applied to Fashion on the campus of LCI Morocco.

He has collaborated as a freelance designer with different companies (Camper, Lomtex, Dupont, Concord Ibérica, Bathtime and Bosser) and he has developed costumes for different shows and plays. He has also worked as a coolhunter and trend developer in Human Side and Gratacós. He has coached young designers such as Manuel Bolaño, Krizia Robustella and CarlotaOms too.
