Being a creator, a maker, and a designer is the lens through which I experience life, but it is also through this lens that I see my contribution to this world. Designing has always been about the journey for me. One in which I am constantly learning to see new details of design, living in an invariably wonderous wandering path that often offers serendipitous surprises, that teach me yet, one more lesson about something I hadn’t noticed before!
Interested in expanding my own vision of design, I joined the MFA program as a platform for exploration and discovery. Previously trained as an architect, I brought with me the practice of the structural and functional while being no stranger to the poetic essence of the built environment inhabited by human emotions. The relationships between structure and emotion, constraints and freedom, and pieces that create a whole, have always been part of my practice as a designer.
Through graphic design, I have developed an interest in design concepts that are applicable across a variety of disciplines within design itself, aiming to explore forms and materials widely, keeping the idea of range in mind. Designing to communicate has become designing to connect, inviting the audience to come closer, to experience, engage or play, and at times, to create further.
The symbioses between the tridimensional and bidimensional, between the audience and myself, and among the range of applications within a singular design concept, have become central to this adventure called the MFA in Graphic Design.
