Experience

Sealine

  • surface
  • space

I develop complete interior fit-out packages for yachts over 40 metres, turning design intent into parametric models and production drawings. Working across joinery, metalwork, composites, and integrated services, I resolve how components are made, fitted, and assembled, with material and finish specifications that support production.

Gum Design

  • form
  • surface

I developed six product concepts for Antoniolupi, from material research and experimental finishes through to client approval. Physical prototypes and detailed renders helped test and communicate the proposals as they developed.

Politecnico di Milano

The Politecnico di Milano design campus at Bovisa — building B1, red and yellow panels over glazing, bicycles parked along the front.

I moved from Mexico City to Italy to pursue a master’s in Design & Engineering, building on my professional experience in product and interior design.

I designed premium home product systems from concept to production and led multidisciplinary teams on large-scale interiors. Alongside integrating custom furniture with architectural elements, I worked directly with fabricators on costs, supplier selection, and production quality.

  • space

I led a team of 35 craftspeople to deliver more than 9,500 m² of WeWork office space in four months. My work also included developing cost-efficient furniture solutions, including CNC-based modular systems for low-income housing.

AoMa Studio

The Live Aqua San Miguel de Allende dining room — a live-edge parota table under exposed beams and a woven pendant.

  • space
  • surface

I led furniture, fixtures, and equipment design for Grupo Posadas hospitality projects, taking briefs through to production specifications. I also handled cost analysis and supplier negotiations, balancing design requirements with the budgets and practical demands of large-scale installations.

I developed consumer products from concept through production, preparing documentation for tooling and following the work through quality approval and client delivery. My work included the LOX collection for URREA, recognised with a 2018 Good Design Award in Bath & Accessories.

What I do

Three disciplines. One throughline.

  • Form.

    Products that resolve mechanical, ergonomic and emotional behaviour into single, considered objects — built for manufacture.

    • Industrial
    • Product
