Javi Solans

Architect & Digital Product Builder

About

I am an architect who builds digital products. Instead of entering traditional architecture firms, I co-founded my own visualization and branding ventures (Bigshots, Amonton) immediately after graduating. My focus is on where design systems, visual impact, and business growth meet. Currently, I direct and scale WinnersDaily—a design media platform with over 60,000 followers—while designing, building, and launching digital products. I apply the rigorous systems thinking of architecture to digital spaces, interfaces, and products.
