What I'm looking for
I am an industrial designer with a strong foundation in logistics and customer relationship management. I hold a Bachelor of Industrial Design from the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education, where I graduated with an honorable mention. My academic background is complemented by a 200-hour course in Transportation Design from House of Design Rigoletti.
Professionally, I have over eight years of experience across various roles. At Aktia Design Studio, I served as a Senior Industrial and Graphic Designer, where I was responsible for product concept development, packaging design, branding, and 3D modeling. I also managed customer meetings to ensure product requirements were met. My role at Delta Trucking as a Senior Logistics Coordinator and Customer Relationship Manager involved managing a fleet of over 45 trucks, live load tracking, rate calculations, and customer support.
Currently, I work as a Dispatch Coordinator at Charger Logistics, overseeing a fleet of over 100 trucks across Alberta, British Columbia, and New Brunswick. My responsibilities include scheduling and dispatching drivers, coordinating daily routes, and analyzing transportation planning opportunities to reduce costs. I have received several awards for my design work, including the 3rd National Place in the Reason Play contest and the 1st National Place in the VII Prize of Design Promises Mexico.
