I am a design practitioner, researcher, and educator invested in bridging the gap between quality practice and rigorous research.

My work concentrates on the methodological potential of collective acts of making for knowledge production in design. This focus moved me to pursue a practice-led PhD at Aalto University, which I obtained with an article-based thesis on the sociomateriality of collaborative and distributed creative processes.

I teach studio courses and research methodology at the BA, MA, and PhD levels. Previously, I directed the BA Design Program at Mexico City’s Tecnológico de Monterrey and held visiting researcher roles at the Hong Kong Design Institute and the Kyoto Institute of Technology. My research has attracted significant funding through study grants, consortium projects, and cooperation programs earmarked to explore ways of integrating practice into academia. The outcomes of these explorations have been awarded multiple prizes, published in leading peer-reviewed journals, presented in panels and conferences, and exhibited in galleries, museums, fairs, and biennials internationally.
