about.

Growing up in Caracas taught me to observe how people solve problems with what they have. That's where my design thinking comes from.

Sustainability, material exploration, and functionality sit at the core of everything I make.

My work balances elegance with utility, considering how objects move through space, what they interact with, and how materials and form communicate intention. Everything is built to last and built to be felt.
