    Five-year professional career with a degree in industrial design. For my graduation project, I conducted research on the international market for the traditional Colombian craft technique of handmade black ceramics. Building upon this, I designed a collection tailored for the European market, preserving the processes and identity of the technique. This collection was launched at the Ambiente Fair in Frankfurt, Germany. My graduation project was selected among the top 10 of the year and showcased at the UJTL Museum of Visual Arts.
