I like to keep this thought in mind: Designers imagine things that don’t yet exist, and then they build them, and then the world changes. (From Bill Burnett and Dave Evans book: Designing your life.)

I’m a fashion Designer, specialized in Footwear. And expanded my formation with a postgraduate in Design and Project Management, both degrees from the University of Buenos Aires.

I have 15 years experience in giving design and developments solutions for Footwear and related products. Thinking always about the best outcome of matching the needs of the end user and the company/project. I have worked mostly for sports/active and casual market, for the whole range of kids, men and women. Creating designs which aim to better fit the identity and product needs for each brand and product range.
