Weaving Personal Project Loud Design 2017 Since I was a little girl I always saw to my grandmother making handicraft, I always demostrated a big interest in arts & crafts, then I decided to create a Facebook page and Intagram to show and sell my own work, in this case weaves made with acrilyc and natural wools and incorporate some inspirational photographics taken by me. As designer I consider it very important to have an inspirational font and make activities to help me stay focused and mentally active.

Sopra Personal Project 2017 Observing a common condition while young people are chilling on their couch, reading, watching T.V. or playing video games, usually in front of the couch there are a central table and sometimes people put their feet on it, this is a really bad habit and probably we can not do it while we have guests, but could be nice if we would have furniture to permit do that.

For that reason I created this table where you can put your feet in addition to your decor elements without damaging it.

I think confortability is the most important thing, overall when your are in your own home,enjoing your free time activities.

Academic Industrial Design Internship 2013 I participated in this project when I made my Academic internship in DIES company in agreement with PORMIL Exhibitions. DIES is a company which uses metal as main material and gave me the opportunity to explore new shapes and processes with this material unknown to my until that moment.

They wanted products for a new line called GOOD, their principal concept requeriment were low cost, without neglecting simplicity and practicality to small places.

For that reason I had to propose pieces which did not need complex process, and a kind of metal which is not expensive as cold rolled.

KRAFT RECICLED BOARDS AND BIOLOGiC COMPOUND Made with kraft paper recycled plus biologic resin extracted from the bagasse of the sugar cane.

This compound could NOT be reused, because it is more exposed to wear and it is rapidly degraded.

The structure will be join with screws, it is fast and simple.

It could be reused.

STOW It creates a platform that isolates the houses from the groud and allows the route of the rain.

It could be reused.

This project was designed to be showed in the convocatory Premio Corona 2012, which required propose emergency living places for oods.

The design of the houses is thought for living there in a maximum time of six months, for that it has to be modular to might instaled and desinstaled according to the emergency needs. In addition some parts are reusable because we know these houses are built by the goverment and not always provide enough budget to endure this kind of emergencies on the best way, for this reason each modul have to keep in the best state possible for long times, securing thus people have worthy houses, to be able to face other problems that come with this type of emergencies.
