Diego is a passionate Peruvian industrial designer whom moved by curiosity to know different design areas, he has been working as an independent professional since graduating in 2011. Fascinated by the cultural richness of his country, he has traveled to different regions coexisting with ancestral traditions that remain alive, including craftsmanship. Part of this experience has been working together with different artisans, masters in 16 different traditional craft techniques which are held by teaching from father to son for generations. Betting on the value that craftsmanship provides in products and natural empowerment that this has on people who work in this field, Diego is currently dedicated to provide consulting services focused on handicrafts and traditional processes both private companies and the Peruvian government through the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism. In the same way, his work highlights the relationships between men next to industrial processes created by themselves and nature that always remains connected with traditional processes.
