An industrial designer
based in Zurich
Born and raised in Chile, I pursued my studies in Industrial Design at the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany and currently lead my own design studio in Zurich, Switzerland.
I've been engaged in sustainable design since I co-founded the design collective Postfossil (2008-2020). Much as changed, but my focus remains the same. My expertise comes from experience in design development, teaching, training and projects in sustainability.
