FULL BIO
I am a Product Design Engineer, MBA candidate at the University EAFIT looking forward to improve the industrial environment through sustainable design, and improving the quality of human life through research and development (R&D). I am passionate for arts, music and cuisine.
Innovation has always been my main goal always looking to create solutions assertive, optimize resources, automate processes and be noble to the environment.
I think the design as a profession combines a lot of knowledge about politics, society, culture and global economy which are merging for the integral development of products and services that improve our quality of life. I believe in teamwork and I think in the effort of the community is achieved differentiation and innovation.
