HAVE A LOOK INTO MY WORK AND ALL THE PROJECTS I HAVE WORKED ON...

I am a dreamer...who loves to travel , to meet new cultures, new people, new flavors, new sensations and mainly learn about what I am passionate about...I am passionate about design, the colors, the forms, the visual, the tex-tures, the experiences, the way that everything works and how it will help and change everything around us, help us evolve... My passion is product design.

I love what I am doing and enjoy it every day! I am a student of product design engineering, very creative and very keen to learn as much as I can and develop my knowledge base and grow as a professional.

To me everything is passion, it is what moves us, it is what helps us reach our goals and make real changes in everything and every life around us; my purpose is to use all my knowledge to make a real differ-ence in the world, in order to help us move towards a greater developpment.

During my learning process I have searched other areas that comple-ment my profession and I found photography.

In Medellín, Colombia carry on bikes are not permitted on the public transport be-cause they are too big and will take up too much space that can be used by other users; that is why so many people have to walk the dis-tances between the trans-port station and their jobs, schools or univerities even if it is a long walk.Dobla, born from this need , was designed to fit in any public transport in the city because it has the allowed dimensions to get in.The design was inspired in the city-life and created for young and versatile students and professionals.

This project was developped for Proyect 5 subjetc in a team of 9 students where, in a period of 4 months, the bike was designed and then constructed at the university EAFIT’s workshops.Dobla won the award of best project in the semester and the team was invited to multiple events and confer-ences in the the bike’s week in the Univeristy UPB.I colaborated in all the phases of the project: the design, construction proto-types and the final model.To find out mor about this project see this link:

Viccar is an electric bumper car that was designed to work on any plane surface and does not need an spe-cial floor to close the cir-cuit to operate as the other ones.This caracteristic made Viccar perfect to work on festivals, feirs and itinerant events where it will only be necesary to delimitate the space on any plane floor where it will be functioning.The design also created a way of playing similar to a contest between the users giving a different sense to the attraction.

This bumper car works with two hub motor (350 W) and the energy is pro-vided for a battery (48V).The project was made in a team of 6 students.During 4 months we de-signed it and consructed a functional prototype to do electronic and ego-nomic proves.

PhotographyI have been investing time learning photography and it has became one of my favorite hobbies.The habilities in this kind of areas complement my knowledge in the developpment of new designs and also I have been exploring different sides and currents of photography in order to learn an experiment as much as I can.
