I am a design practitioner, researcher, and educator dedicated to bridging the gap between high-quality practice and rigorous research.
My work concentrates on the methodological potential of collective acts of making for knowledge production in design. This interest took me to pursue a practice-led PhD at Aalto University, where I produced an article-based thesis on the sociomateriality of collaborative and distributed creative processes.
I currently serve as a Research Assistant Professor at the School of Design of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Previously, I directed the BA Design Program at Mexico City's Tecnológico de Monterrey and taught MA and PhD courses across various universities. My practice has yielded material outcomes that include everyday products ranging from furniture to typefaces, participatory frameworks such as experimental workshops and geographically distributed projects, and research tools like analytical methods and data visualization systems. These contributions have been awarded multiple prizes, published in leading peer-reviewed journals, presented in conferences and panels, and exhibited in galleries, museums, fairs, and biennials worldwide.
