About me
Hardworking, passionate and enthusiastic, I graduated in Product Design (BSc) from the prestigious Brunel University. At the historic Politecnico di Milano, I took a number of mostly Master Degree Level classes as part of an international exchange, and consolidated my knowledge of design in a different culture.
With over three years' experience in taking a design from concept through to reality, including researching, sourcing, testing and manufacturing, I would be a valuable asset in any design studio.
I speak Spanish, English and Italian fluently; exceed at sketching, modelling and using a variety of CAD software; with two patent pending designs in my portfolio, I have thorough experience in taking products through the patenting stages, and have a solid understanding of design patenting language.
My skill set also includes a thorough knowledge of photography and its theory, watercolour, woodworking and car restoration.

Variety of Undergraduate Year 3 and Masters Year 1 CoursesPolitecnico di Milano
- Milan, Italy
Despite my limited time at the Politecnico, I took 9 courses (7 from the Product Design for Innovation Master Degree programme) and despite exceeding the credits allowance for both terms, excelling in all of them. Two of the courses were "followed" and I received no official grade although I participated in all the exercises, interim tests and even one live project. Some of my team's Studio projects were exhibited throughout the year, one of which at the "Bovisa Fuorisalone" during the design week: Il Salone del Mobile 2014.

Product Design BScBrunel University London
- London, United Kingdom
Throughout my career, I undertook a variety of projects on my way to becoming a Product Designer, and took part in Made in Brunel design events particularly in my first and final years.
I was part of the Communications Team leading up to Made in Brunel 2015, and did a lot of the photography for the various events.
As well as my degree, I also took part in the University Swimming, Jiu Jitsu and particularly the Sailing Clubs. As a member of the Brunel Sailing Committee, I organised the yearly Team Racing event in 2013 and 2015 -both of which were greatly successful and hosted about 15 teams from across the UK for a weekend of high quality sailing. I also did extensive photography for these and for the general Club activities.
