I feel passionate about what I do. Observing, discovering, interacting, and creating are actions that define me, giving my best in every challenge I undertake.
My daily life emerges from the exploration and discovery of new forms. I am drawn to working on laminar developments that take on three-dimensionality through design. Exploring and researching. Addressing design in all its aspects, from conceptualizing the object to consulting in strategic design.
I commit to the design process, guided by creativity and intuition, until achieving the desired outcome. I am inspired by nature, art, and the human being with their customs and habits. I am motivated to create so that people are surprised, bringing improvements to their daily lives.
Sharing knowledge through collaborative work, teaching, and exchanging experiences seems essential to me for both personal and collective growth.
