I intend to make sure that projects are developed in time, i don't give up easily in times of difficulty.
I enjoy using, sharing my experience, as well as to create learning from a each experience.
I like being a factor of change and inspire my teammates and to inspire with my work.
Ease to adapt to any circumstance. Ease to make resources last or obtain resources.

I'M INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER
I am a Mexican industrial designer, interested in understanding the world through design and its possibilities. I enjoy learning from life experiences specially ones that come from seeing and knowing people from different cultures, giving me a better understanding of design itself. This has led me to be willing to travel around the world, to also learn different languages such as: English, French and Italian. I'm passionate about yoga, which in hand with design, has allowed me to analyze my environment from many different perspectives. Throughout my projects I have learned to know and understand my weaknesses, my skills and a number of design processes. I'm a practitioner of the design thinking process and an a believer that storytelling it's a support for design and a must for a great user experience. That's why among my skills I decided to chose those that best describe my work. First I'll describe them with a main diagram, then in each first page of the projects I'll highlight the skills from the diagram that were implemented during the process each project.

SUBJECT / PROBLEM
SITUATION
Excess of trash on the beaches and main streets of Barcelona, Spain Problem to attack : FRUIT PACKAGING FOR TOURIST
-Research of the situation at the beaches of Barcelona. - Understanding impact between plastic packaging vs paperboard packaging.
PROTOTYPE
TEST
IDEAS / SOLUTIONS: -Ideation of a different system of selling sliced fruit to take on beaches, aimed at tourists. -Changing the concept of the actual way of eating this fruit. -Creating a packaging whith less impact.
PROJECT:
Branding of JUI JUI. Sale system of beach carts with chopped fruit skewers that can be customized to suit what the client likes. Eliminates the need for plastic bottles and fruit waste on beach and streets.
It is a project of eco-packaging and brand image from a sustainable approach. Made in Barcelona, Spain at the post-grade on structural Packaging of Elisava Design School. It was based on a real problem of pollution in the city.Which was addressed from different perspectives of design and methodologies of environmental impact. For the solution various packaging proposals were devised, prototyped and tested. Leading to a packaging proposal based on origami, made in one piece, consisting of tabs and folds in a piece of cardboard.
Solution was a package that causes less environmental impact and less food waste and creates a new habit in consumers. As a result of the research which reflected that much of the fruit rather than be consumed was wasted. The solution is a system of selling customizable frozen fruit skewers. Which can be made of the amount of fruit you really want to eat and you can also add toppings. The packaging is based on a base for the skewer to support it at the time of consumption and easy to use because it is assembled from a single piece of cardboard .
