I’m a designer, researcher, and educator specializing in hands-on collaboration. With a focus on sociomaterial engagement, my work explores collective acts of making as sites of negotiation and inquiry. I hold a PhD from Aalto University, where I transformed this interest into a methodological approach for practice-led research.

I currently work as a Research Assistant Professor of Social Design at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Previously, I directed the undergraduate Design Program at Tecnológico de Monterrey in Mexico City and taught studio and research courses at several design schools. I’ve also been involved as Head of Design, Project Leader, and Designer in Residence across diverse industry contexts.

My practice has generated many kinds of things, which include everyday products ranging from furniture to typefaces, collaborative frameworks developed through experimental workshops and geographically distributed projects, and research methods tailored for data visualization and analysis. This work has been awarded prizes, published in scientific journals, presented at talks and conferences, and shown in galleries, museums, fairs, and biennials worldwide.
