Cristobal Laurent
@cristoballaurent
Designer specializing in applied research, information visualization, and digital education.
What I'm looking for
I’m a designer with experience in applied research, information visualization, and digital content development for public, cultural, and educational projects. I translate complex topics into clear diagnostics, technical materials, and learning resources that people can actually use.
Recently, as a Research Assistant with ECLAC/ILPES, I supported research on long-term planning, digital transformation, institutional culture, and open government across Latin America. I systematized and analyzed information for diagnostics and publications, and helped prepare source reviews and documentation for interdisciplinary teams.
From 2019 to 2024, I served as Product Manager and Co-founder at Arma Tu Vajilla, designing educational and curatorial experiences centered on material heritage, object culture, and sustainability. I coordinated creative content and communications, supported product strategy, and contributed to catalog development and outreach materials.
Before that, I worked as an Antique Restorer and Dealer, where research, documentation, and heritage preservation were core to my day-to-day practice. I also designed a graphic manual and visual documentation for a beekeeping heritage outreach project, strengthening my focus on accessibility and sustainability-oriented communication.
