HELLO!
I AM AN INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER SPECIALIZED IN TEXTILE DESIGN.
I have gained broad expertise in the automotive, textile, and interior design field.
I am enthralled by the story that is behind each object. I believe in the importance of every detail in an object because each of them adds to their story and the sum of all has a deep impact in the products, hence adding value to the user's experience.
I feel a deep curiosity on how things are made and enjoy planning and getting involve in the manufacturing of objects.
My passion for design has been a great motivation and source of joy, and has eventually led the path of my professional career.
"I regard design as a way to reinvent the world from a visual, functional and social perspective."
