About me
I'm a designer, animator, visual artist & technologist. With background in graphic design (print and digital), product design, artistic installations, motion graphics and electronics design. I like to conceive design as an holistic discipline where you can jump from one field to another. I hold a degree in Design (Elisava School of Design & Engineering Barcelona) and a FabAcademy Diploma. My projects explore a wide range of digital tools: software, programming languages, electronics, sound, animation & digital fabrication. His work has been exhibited in Spain, Italy, Letonia, Hong-Kong & USA.

    The Fab Academy teaches principles and applications of digital fabrication. It was developed to teach hands-on skills in fab labs, which began as an outreach project from MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms, and has grown into a global network of more than 500 labs.Fab Academy instruction is based on MIT’s popular rapid-prototyping course How To Make (almost) Anything, both taught by Prof. Neil Gershenfeld. It offers a distributed rather than distance educational model: students learn in local workgroups, with peers, mentors, and machines, which are then connected globally by content sharing and video for interactive classes. The individual labs are supported and supervised regionally by supernode sites with more advanced capabilities, expertise, and inventories. There is no global accreditation for these skills. Instead, each student builds a portfolio that documents their mastery of them individually, and their integration. These are reviewed by their local instructors, regional gurus, and then centrally to ensure that each student meets global standards and follows evolving best practices. The Fab Diploma is earned by progress rather than the calendar, for successful completion of a series of certificate requirements. The instructional sequence requires six months to cover, and the time to finish has ranged from that up to a few years. The Fab Diploma is awarded by the Fab Academy. It has no institutional connection with MIT (and none should be claimed), but a number of the participating sites offer it overlaid with their local accreditation. It recognizes readiness to work in, and establish, a fab lab. The Fab Diploma has led to students obtaining employment, investment, admission, and recognition. The Fab Academy platform has subsequently been used to add classes (collectively called Academany) that share the model of hands-on instruction to students in workgroups, with local mentors, linked by shared content and interactive lectures by global leaders. The first of these is How To Grow (almost) Anything, an introduction to biotechnology with a faculty team led by Harvard’s Prof. George Church, with more classes under development, as well as programs for more advanced study planned. ​ Diploma / Individual Fab Academy Certificates 1. digital fabrication principles and practices – 1 week 2. computer-aided design, manufacturing, and modeling – 1 week 3. computer-controlled cutting – 1 week 4. electronics design and production – 2 weeks 5. computer-controlled machining – 1 week 6. embedded programming – 1 week 7. 3D molding and casting – 1 week 8. collaborative technical development and project management – 1 week 9. 3D scanning and printing – 1 week 10. sensors, actuators, and displays – 2 weeks 11. interface and application programming – 1 week 12. embedded networking and communications – 1 week 13. machine design – 2 weeks 14. digital fabrication applications and implications – 1 week 15. invention, intellectual property, and business models – 1 week 16. digital fabrication project development – 2 weeks
