Props design and production, Art Direction assistance for an Opera Production. MDF skeleton and PP shell Produced for the Opera al Parque Festival. Team members: Juan Torres Margarita Torres Skill used: Rhinoceros 4 Grashopper Adobe Illustrator Pepakura Designer Lasercutting
The Candide Production for the Festival Opera al Parque de Bogotá (Bogotá‘s Opera at the Park Festival) required around 200 original props. I was part of the Art Department and assisted the Art Director in designing and crafting most of these props; from the style and mood references I created CAD files, and production drawings for the production and optimized assembly of the main props, such as weapons and headpieces

VATT E N 1
Footwear design, conceptualization and prototype production. Leather main-body and dual silicone sole. Produced during 8th term of Product Design Bachelor Degree. Team members: Laura Calderรณn Santiago Murillo Skills used: Rhinoceros 4 T-splines RhinoCAM CNC Routing Silicon Casting
VATTEN1 is part of KRYONISMER, a conceptual fotwear collection seeking to bridge European and Latin-American aesthetic and stylistic traditions, as well as traditional and digital manufacturing techniques, the forms and textures of the collection evoke tropical organisms that travel north, adapting to their new colder environments. Designed to be worn in casual and formal contexts, VATTEN1 features a memory foam sole that acts as a personal journal of the paths walked by the users, offering an alternative to the Quantified self trend. VATTEN1 introduces the Qualified self, inviting users to reflect on their taken steps and inspiring them to keep going forward
Routing process: CAM carving of machinable wax for sole mold.
Design process: Sketches and Renders.
Casting process: Poured Moldmax (white) and Dragonskin (blue) silicones into wax mold. Detail of cast sole.

Design and Production of a prototype virtual tool for comprehensive analysis of industrial objects. Final dissertation for the Bachelor Degree of Industrial Designer. Skill used: Rhinoceros 4 Grashopper Adobe Illustrator 3D Printing
NoTaxonomĂa is a multisensory tool for comprehensive analysis of the aesthetic, semantic and material relationships of industrial objects; aimed to provide designers and design researchers with insights for both qualitative and quantitative information gathering and representation; in order to help tackle the inherent complexity and uncertainty of the evaluation, design, and conformation processes of industrial objects, and to augment the perceptual field of the designers involved in such processes.

INDUSTRIAL OBJECT as triadic sign
multi-sensory tool, for designers & design researchers
aesthetic, material & semantic
INSIGHTS
for decision making and complexity tackling
Semiotic Topography Utilizing the percian concepts of triadic sign and its recursion, and seeing the industrial object as a sign: we are able to map the attributes —designables, to a digrammatic icon that in addition to sistematize them, allows the visualization of their interactions and relevance within the industrial object as a whole; creating thus an insight that may be subject to study and manipulation during the design process.
Tool Development Troughout four stages of development a cathegory frame was set up as basis for the semiotic topographies, later the tool‘s visual concept and features were worked out, in order to create visualizations during a trial run that will allow us to improve the usability and conceptual accuracy of NoTaxonomía

3D printed models of semitopes; 3d visualizations of a single industrial object by two different designers. In this case a Renault 4 sedan

Apertura f1.0 is the first prototype of an on-going project to design produce reliable and beatifullooking pinhole cameras, ready to assemble and shoot, using only paper. These cameras were tested during a pinhole photography workshop, where together with La sub_versiva collective, shoot and develop film photographs using analogue processes
I‘m a designer, illustrator and epi-digital artisan based in BogotĂĄ. Graduated with a Bachelor degree on Industrial Design from the National University of Colombia. My work revolves around the study of industrial objects as vessels for cultural identity/ alterity. I‘m in constant search for colaborative, alternative and horizontal design processes Interested on memetics, semiotics, and design methodologies.
