Raised in Mexico 🌮 and am now based in London. I am a designer with a unique blend of industrial, digital and graphic design expertise committed to making people's lives easier and more enjoyable through design.
Throughout my life, design has always been at the heart of everything I do. I graduated with First Class Honours in Industrial Design in Mexico and spent a year in a Design Residency in Japan. Upon my return to Mexico, I launched Koloikos, an online store for baby products and became a freelance visual designer, helping small businesses with brand identities and marketing designs.
In summary, my work results from experimenting and learning from various fields, places, and people over the years. Take a look 👀👇
