Creativity to find possibilities. Strategy to give them direction. Technology to make them real.

I'm the founder of LowOrbits, a strategic consultant and a university lecturer. My work connects business experience, creativity and education with new ways to learn, make decisions and build.

Today

I combine LowOrbits with my work as a full-time lecturer at La Salle Barcelona, where I coordinate the Creativity & Innovation subject.

Technology and human knowledge in service of business.

My work connects technology, human knowledge and business perspective. I'm interested in how this combination can help people work better, make clearer decisions and open up opportunities for business growth.

I've worked in classrooms, agencies, manufacturing businesses and my own ventures. My background in advertising and psychocreativity has connected with digital strategy, team leadership and business transformation. Creativity helps me find alternatives; education helps me share knowledge; and business experience gives them direction and practical purpose.

Today, I also apply AI to turn knowledge into tools, reduce repetitive work and improve productivity. It's not about adopting technology because it's new, but understanding where it can add value: for people, processes and business development.

A career connecting different worlds.

Selected chapters that have shaped how I work. Business experience and teaching have developed alongside each other, not as separate careers.

Full-time lecturer · Creativity & Innovation subject coordinator

Business and projects

A role in B2B manufacturing focused on brand positioning, organising digital assets and using indicators to guide marketing decisions. This is previous experience, not a current role.

One of my first ventures: a multimedia and web development company. The connection between creativity, communication and technology was already there at the start of my career.

Alejandro Valdebenito speaking about creativity at TEDxGràcia, Barcelona
TEDxGràcia · Barcelona · 2015

Creativity isn't decoration. It's a way of working.

I've studied it, taught it and applied it in business projects. I see it as a skill you can practise: look differently, connect seemingly separate elements and explore alternatives before accepting the first answer.

The question isn't just which tool to use. It's what we could do differently.

I've shared this perspective at TEDxGràcia, Ignite BCN, UAB talks and ESADE Creapolis workshops.

Learning is part of the work.

My education doesn't belong to a single discipline. I've kept expanding it to better understand people, business and technology's possibilities.

Advertising, marketing and communication

University studies in Advertising and Marketing at Universidad del Pacífico, Chile (1999–2003). A foundation for understanding how to develop propositions, communicate ideas and connect with people's needs.

Psychocreativity and creative thinking

Master's in Psychocreativity (2004), postgraduate studies in Creative Communication (2004) and Psychology of Creativity (2003) at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. The foundation of my teaching and approach to innovation.

Digital transformation, AI and continuous learning

Training in digital transformation at La Salle (2020), machine learning and agile methodologies (2020), and Python fundamentals and cybersecurity at La Salle (2025). I complement it with self-directed learning and experimentation in AI, automation and knowledge systems.

LowOrbits brings the connections together.

Thinking, teaching and building are three ways to help an organisation move forward.

Not every business needs the same thing. Some need strategic direction; others want their teams to learn how to apply AI; others need a tool or an automation. At LowOrbits, you can work with me on one of these needs or connect them within a project.

I also develop my own products. Krakencast connects two longstanding interests: sharing knowledge and designing technology to make it more accessible.

There's room for curiosity, too.

Outside professional projects, I explore music, audio production and creative technology. I'm also interested in personal knowledge systems and better ways to learn.

Not everything has to become a service. Sometimes experimenting, combining ideas and learning something new is enough.

Let's start with a conversation.

If you need strategic perspective, training for your team or help building something useful with AI, tell me about your context. We'll speak directly and see whether working together makes sense.
