Who's behind this page:
I am a Colombian Social Impact Designer with a master's degree in Rural Development and Innovation. The fusion between design thinking, sociology and anthropology has given me the opportunity to work in a wide variety of cultures, languages and types of projects. I have more than 8 years of experience in social service design, process design, project management, and communications design, which has allowed me to reach out to vulnerable communities in the Philippines, India, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, and Colombia. Although not all my professional experience has been directly linked to design, design thinking is a mindset that has stayed with me and runs through all the projects I've worked on. Within design led methodologies I have found a set of tools that have allowed me to merge academic theory with the practicality of field work, managing to approach the needs of communities and social vulnerable groups besides allowing the active involvement of all stakeholders in the development of the proposed projects. Throughout this portfolio, you will be able to know more about the objectives of each project, the design approach or design challenge to be solved and, finally, the development process of each one. Each project, at the same time, presents a change and a personal journey. More than 11 projects, 6 countries, 12 cities and 3 continents have managed to bring me to this point so now, I present to you a portfolio of diverse interventions that I have led across different cultures, industries and experiences.
Welcome to my journey, thanks for joining me.
