The Short Version
I'm a designer who doesn't stay in one lane.
Born in Colombia. Trained in Milan. Worked across 8 countries on 4 continents. I've designed doors in Poland, furniture in Italy, hydroponic systems in Colombia, metaverse spaces in Switzerland, and democracy programs in Malaysia.
I co-founded 3 startups. Led design teams. Trained 400+ artisans. Grew channels from zero. Built products people actually use.
I think in systems. I work with my hands. I believe design should solve real problems, not just look pretty.
Currently based in Kuala Lumpur. Colombian and Spanish passport. Available for projects that matter.
