Portfolio 2016 Claudia GraĂąa
Hello!
Content
My name is Claudia and I am an Industrial Design Engineer with Master in Research and Experimentation. I use to say that I am an Interdisciplinary Design engineer, that is because i like to learn and explore unknown areas of design and improve my knowledge in different fields. Helped by my educational background, internationalization and recent experience at Altran Innovation, I hope to be able to develop a creative career that allows me to be proficient at the maximum of disciplines as possible.

SEAT Aira & Eolo // Automotive & Transportation Design // 1 year project
SEAT Aira // SEAT Dúo - Chariot Concept. // Final Degree Project 2015 Inspired by legendary muscle cars of last century but belonging to our contemporary days, SEAT Aira makes people think about the future of transportation. With fierce look and strong shapes, its character is inspired by SEAT style, adding a new concept of sports car.
//Director: José Ramón Méndez Salgueiro, EUDI //Collaborating company: SEAT Design Center
//Coordinators: Alejandro Mesonero (Head of Design) Carlos Martínez Medina (Infrastructures Director) Jaume Sala Renart (Interior Design)
Merula Edition The special sport edition is called Merula. Classy and clean leather and sport colours make the interior an object of desire. Painting Merula on the exterior with a metallic shade in contrast with its reddish appearance inside makes SEAT Aira a brand new sportscar with a classical approach.
Amandava Edition Amandava is an elegant combination of light and classic beige inside, with chrome details and perforated textures. Exteriorly, dark red is the main character of the stage, which in contrast with the interior, makes an interesting and intense match.
Sericea Edition Color&Trim Sericea Edition is the representation of the ocean and the freshness of the morning sky. Gathering the calm in the interior and the storm in the exterior, Sericea unifies dark blue and white to inspire freedom and sportive attitude in the user.
SEAT Eolo // Automotive & Transportation Design // 1 year project
Concept & sketch process
SEAT Eolo Eolo concept was created to fulfill the requirements of my Final Degree Project in collaboration with SEAT. The aim of this concept is to make the bridge between the car environment and other surroundings. Included in SEAT Aira, Eolo is the solution for those free souls that want to explore the unknown, making true the dream of flying among the clouds.

ร รถregi // Lighting Design // 3 days project
Çöregi The inspiration for this ilumination project was the heart concept, based in the shape that the traditional “croissant” received from it. Made by wood and light, it has also the priviledge of having a piece of Simetech (Arturo Alvarez material development).

GOAT Longboard // Transportation Design // 9 months project
Concept & sketch process
GOAT Longboard // New Concepts for GOAT // Academic Project 2012 This brand new concept for GOAT Longboard started with a User centered study, tendencies and benchmarking. Because of the user study, the project conclussion was to design a brake system for an specific longboard shape. Briefly, the project gathers UX and Industrial or Mechanical Design.

iWannabe // Wearable & UX/UI Design // 1 week project
iWannabe // iWannabe Technology // Speculative Design Module // MA Research & Experimentation What if...? That is the question posed by speculative designers over the years, being able to predict tendencies and even behaviours of human beings. iWannabe is a speculative “app+object” that tries to put the user in a near future where people would enjoy a selected personality for a limited time.
‘Brain transfer’ wearable function
// Director: Jaron Rowan, BAU // http://iwannabeapp.wixsite.com/iwannabe (Spanish)
Concept & sketch process
The device uploads user’s personality, since then, lots of personalities are available to download through iWannabe smartphone app. Once downloaded, they are ready to be transferred to user’s brain and enjoyed for a while.
MOAP // Wearable Design // 1 month project
MOAP // MOAP - Modular Object Adaptation to Prosthetics // Master Thesis Project // MA Research & Experimentation MOAP consists on a platform that shows children’s prosthetics as a way to empower themselves through the adaptation of a basic shape to any device of their choice. That adapter would act as a brigde between their limb and the world, making the prosthetic arm a more useful tool for them or letting it be gamified in order to learn better.
