Ramón Espinosa has spent more than 20 years carrying out renovations of every kind in Sevilla: homes, premises and commercial spaces, including work for brands such as Mango and Massimo Dutti.
He joined Reformas by Bianca in its early days as director to coordinate and lead its projects. Today he oversees every job from start to finish, making sure the timelines, the fixed price and the quality of the finishes are all met.
That hands-on experience running renovations in Sevilla is what backs the guides he signs on this site: content written from real renovation practice, not from theory.
