About

I'm a Colombian Industrial Designer currently working as a Research Assistant and PhD candidate at the MIT Media Lab.

As part of the Object-Based Media Group I have developed projects that deal with our interactions with mobile devices and multimedia experiences.

My latest obsession is around the inadequacy of the current interface paradigm of mobile devices, I'll dedicate my PhD to finding a better interface that enables much richer experiences
