«If I said I love writing, I’d be lying. It’s people’s experiences and emotions that move me. And nothing is sincerer and more powerful than well-chosen words.» Sergio’s journey began as a Copywriter, but five years ago, UX Writing knocked on his door to stay forever. Today, Sergio teaches it in Crehana, Complot, and Barcelona Technology School. «My mission in Doctoralia is to make the healthcare experience more human. One word then, a smile is enough? Definitely :)»
