About
Graduated from an engineering school and later in an applied art school. I am a transversal and polyvalent profile with more than 10 years of experience working for brands in the luxe cosmetic industry, transportation and consumer goods. Apart from the more "traditional" knowledge associated with my profession, I have specialized in sustainable development, CMF design, creation and development of materials and eco-design.
Among my skills, there are 3D modelling, technical documentation writing, norms, manufacturing (injection/thermoforming/casting, etc), product ideation, surface texture design, product communication etc.
I also consider myself a kind of alchemist, because just as they sought to obtain gold from basic materials, I like to obtain products and materials that revalue the industrial waste. Something that I have carried out successfully on several occasions.
In my free time, I like to play with UXUI and I also love to code. Therefore, I am open to side projects in the UXUI field too. -
