I see product design as the prediction of the needs and desires that people don't know they have yet. That way of thinking allows us to be innovative but sensitive at the same time. We are most likely not designing for us, we are considering an entire sector of the population, and although people have similarities, we have to be able to find singularities in our consumers. We could capitalize on those needs if we wanted to, making them believe they can't live without certain products, but is that correct? Design should be a tool, and every tool should be used with responsability. With that in mind, I think design should help improve the lives of everyone, it should consider every context and be responsible of its impact. That's why when I design products, I don't tend to prioritize its aesthetic, but the message it transmits and how it will affect the enviornment where it will live.
A new way of reading time, OO Watch was designed for people who have a hard time with numbers. People with dislexia, ADHD, autism, or simply people who would enjoy reading time differently. The time is read through colors, it is quick and elegant.
The watch also reached to be a conversation starter. It being so different can spark questions among people, having them interact with each other.

2021 Honorable Mention at México Diseña Design Competition.
This medical product Mom Ecography was designed for blind people and their possibility to feel the baby when it is still inside the wumb through the touch. The device is placed over the mother's stomach, and a 3D scan of the baby is done. Then, the device will pop on its surface the silhouette of the fetus in real time. This way, parents can touch and feel their baby the same way they would if they were not inside the wumb.
This project was conceptual, so technical aspects were not considered for its development, but we were able to propose a more inclusive way for perfoming ultrasounds.
The device was tought to exist in a controled enviornment, where professionals could manage it safely. It was not designed to be mass sold, since it would be too expensive.

Inspired by traditional furoshiki fabrics in Japan, this product was designed to be an alternative to plastic bags. It is reusable, customizable, and easy to save anywhere, from the car to the house.
The product consists of two parts: the wooden structure and the fabric. The wooden structure helps with the support to carry heavier products at the store, and it is easily folded into a smaller size. The fabric was specially designed to adapt into two different forms, from a smaller bag to a bigger one once assembled to the wooden structure.
Inspired by circular economy, henko chair proposes a more renewable way of purchasing furniture, more specifically baby chairs that adapt to the growth of the children.
The objective was to design a chair that could transform in different stages, from baby, to toddler and adult. This would be cheaper than purchasing three different chairs through the years and the accesories could be interchangeable since the materials lasted a long time.
The customers would purchase the chair with the beginning stage (baby) and eventually as the child grows they could change the seat, which could either be bought or borrowed from the community. Once the child outgrows the parts, they could be taken back for someone else to re-use.
