What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create functional, user-centered designs that generate a positive impact and effectively respond to people’s needs.

I've designed user-centered products across appliance, furniture, and accessibility projects, translating concepts into sketches, 3D CAD models, prototypes, and technical specifications.

At MABE in Germany, I redesigned internal refrigerator components to improve user experience and storage organization. I collaborated with cross-functional teams to validate ergonomic, manufacturing, and production requirements.

At MATERIA, I designed custom concrete furniture from concept sketches through technical specifications, exploring mechanical and aesthetic material properties to create durable, functional contemporary pieces.

I'm motivated by designs that positively impact people’s lives, from custom-fitted wheelchairs for individuals with motor disabilities at FUNTER to healthcare and social-service support at IMSS General Regional Hospital No. 2.
