My work spans from targeted consulting to broad-scale design projects. I've built strong, ongoing partnerships with major firms like Nestlé, Schneider, and KFC, as well as Alessi and Alpiste, contributing to their in-house UX or innovation teams. These collaborations keep my skills sharp and my portfolio growing.
How I Got Here:
🌱 Initial Steps - Costa Rica to Rome:
My design journey started with a move from Costa Rica to Rome in 2008, fueled by a love for product design. This marked the beginning of my academic and professional development in design.
🎓 TU Delft - A Turning Point:
Doing a Masters at the Technical University of Delft (TU Delft) in the Netherlands was key as I refined my design abilities, focusing on user-centric products and services with a systemic outlook. This is where I perfected prototyping and adaptive iteration based on user feedback.
💼 Diverse Professional Experiences:
Prior to freelancing, I worked with design agencies like Gensler, Hiveworks, and Prophet, focusing on workplace strategy, change management, and digital transformation.
