My Story
In this record, I simply seek to show part of the flexibility in projects that I had in Chile for a period that covered 12 years of experience.
In addition to showing my background in Design, I want to highlight the skills that I developed while being an entrepreneur of my own ideas. A search for my work identity in a country where development is not usual, when we know that the industry in the world is China, which in other words translates as a rate of industrialization with a low identity and that, moreover, can translate as a development opportunity. The Stories that I highlight are 2, the first started in 2010 with the earthquake and tsunami that devastated part of the south-central zone of Chile, a time in which I discovered the importance of working in the field when it comes to understanding real needs and problems. And the second, part after being hungry to develop as an Industrial designer with Humanist values, a moment that occurred in 2015 with the awakening of my interest in multiculturalism and issues related to education.
However, in my story there is a break, because after the social outbreak and the covid in 2019, the efforts that I had evoked in my company and project called Hoowin, disappeared as a result of an unsuitable economic environment. That led me to migrate to Punta Arenas (Chilean Patagonia), a region where I started again, because I changed the land for the sea.
