Hi, my name is Borja and figments is my personal log. I am a student at ESADE Business School in Barcelona and also the co-founder of a project called vadebags™.
I created this site back in 2009 to share content gathered from my favorite online sources: most of them related to art and design but also websites, videos and short essays on anything from science and management to cool infographs. More often than not, figments has been about distributing content rather than creating it. I have also shared someimpressions about my most recent trips abroad. I recently came back from a four-months journey to India (studying at IIM-Lucknow); if you've followed my previous entries, you will know I am fascinated by Asian cultures.
You can contact me through the site's twitter account and my own. For more information about me, you can also visit my Linkedin profile or see the pictures I post on the pics section of this site.

It’s just that passion and that amount of craft, the pride you take in your work to do it the right way. That creates great things, so that’s what sold me; before I even saw the product. Kevin is just an amazing craftsman and he will build a company of craftspeople.

Transformational Entrepreneurs earn their name by creating innovative solutions to the world’s biggest problems that are scalable, sustainable and systematic. — @maxmarmer
The opportunity to reinvent society is within our power, but the future doesn’t invent itself. We encourage everyone to look within themselves and around their environment and seek out opportunities for transformational change. Ask the entrepreneurs you know how the company they are starting is transformational. Ask students and job seekers what transformational problem they want to solve. Ask everyone else what transformational ideas, projects and companies they are excited about. Get people talking, reading, writing, researching and creating in the spirit of transformation — because it is our best hope for reviving socioeconomic progress.
