Industrial Designer at Fuseproject — San Francisco, CA

About

I'm an industrial designer, my work is to give meaning to industrial products by observing, understanding and converting uses and technologies into emotional and innovative products.
Human behavior, technologies and interactions fascinate me. From this alchemy comes my creativity, and the ability to provide smart solutions.
More than the fusion of art and science, design is improving the world, changing way we live.
