About Lander Zaro
Product designer, brand designer and Design Sherpa. Co-founder and product designer of Quince con Ochenta, the studio behind Gobrador. Based in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, working with teams worldwide.
The guide, not the climber
I'm Lander Zaro — LZ for short — a product and brand designer from the Canary Islands. I call my role Design Sherpa: a Sherpa doesn't climb for you. They know the terrain, the risks and when to change course. That is what I do for founders and teams facing complex launches, rebrands and digital products.
My work spans product design for SaaS and data platforms, brand strategy and identity, websites and art direction. I've delivered more than 80 projects, from the economic data platform of Germany Trade & Invest with 23degrees to Awwwards-recognised brands like The One Burger.
I'm the co-founder and product designer of Quince con Ochenta, a digital product studio in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Our first product is Gobrador, a public tender intelligence SaaS for Spanish companies — the same method I bring to clients, applied to a product of our own.
When a climb needs a bigger team, I bring in FUGU CGCA, the creative studio I founded. You still work directly with me, from base camp to summit.
