quick bio

I grew up in Colombia, I'm based in Japan and I study in the UK. I graduated from Universidad de los Andes with a Cum Laude bachelor’s degree on Design and a minor in Visual Computing. I am pursuing a dual Master’s degree; MEng Social Interaction Design at Kyoto Institute of Technology, and MA Global Collaborative Design Practice at University of the Arts London. I am currently part of the Center for the Possible Futures Lab.

I was awarded the MEXT Scholarship in 2024, and my bachelor’s thesis was featured as a distinguished project in Volarán.

Currently based in Kyoto but open to collab anywhere. Portfolio, CV and current projects are available upon request, email me.
