Communication and Industrial designer from Colombia, with experience in different areas of the design industry. My interests are focused on product development, illustration and graphic design, since these are areas where there are no limits to propose new ideas. They are spaces where creativity runs without borders, generating results different from what is known.
I love sports, drawing and reading; I like to be in constant training, since I consider that we never stops learning.

Digital Forest
Digital Forest is an installation that shows the digital encounter between animals and the human context, and traces the transformation from wild entities captured by trail cams to digital entities categorized by users on social media.
The installation is divided into two layers of meaning: the animal as a digital object itself and an inhabitant of a digital forest. These layers are physically reflected through two front screens and a projected backdrop. The top screen shows more than two hours of trail cam footage with its original audio. The lower screen shows data, such as platform, publication date, time, and user. The projection behind the structure displays the network of hashtags linked to the animals in the footage, forming a digital forest that relates human perceptions and animal presence.
The project investigates how animals, inadvertently turned into digital entities, inhabit the online ecosystem, a space categorized by humans for human consumption.

IN ATTO “IL DIRITTO DI COPIARE” per una nuova legislazione creativa
Rights are not only those recognised by law. There are behaviours we all enact, and that is what legitimises them. Manipulating, destroying, failing, forgetting, copying.
These are wrong, or is it our perception that they are?
INATTO is a magazine written by creatives for creatives with the aim of opening a discussion on the needs of those who belong to the field. The magazine is law while each issue is a new right, which is legitimised through the words of the people who have participated in its creation. The magazine presents itself as a place for dialogue between different points of view, with the aim of questioning those taboos that prevent the creative system from evolving.

Touche souns
Manifesto: We have been there in every reading, in every trip and memorable moment that is part of your life; your footsteps follow us and inspire us. We are classic, eternal, we are current and we will never go out of fashion.
We love our security and freedom, we enjoy being at home, in the forest or at the beach. Traveling with our family, showing the most discreet side of our sensuality, even through our look, feeling comfortable, fresh and elegant; this is our philosophy.
Our style is enriched by seeing you smile with your loved ones, giving you what you need and making you see your chicest and most distinguished side. Our great triumph is the satisfaction of knowing that our garments represent you and our only expression when we see how they look on you, is Touché.
