+ Assistant Professor and Researcher at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP). Focused on courses of Design Theory and Design Methodologies.

​

+ MSc. (Cum Laude with Honours Track) in Design for Interaction by Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) and BA in Industrial Design (Winternitz Award 2012) by the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP).

​

+ I believe is necessary to understand every aspect of the project in which I’m involved. This approach helps me to reach a satisfying solution to the client’s needs and most importantly, the user.

 

+ Seeking projects where I could find a little bit of excitement and also a challenging factor from the design perspective is that in 2013 I decided to dedicate to interdisciplinary research, by using my design knowledge to develop interactive platforms for people and to perform experiments to improve the interaction between robots and humans. This path allows me to understand design as a holistic process and its value as a research discipline. 

​

+ Currently, my professional path involves the understanding of design from its theoretical foundations, its ramifications in other fields, and how these can interconnect with relevant experiences. For these reasons, I'm currently exploring how the idea of "Relevance" can be used to understand, ideate, and conceptualize the elements that are involved in cross-cultural experiences.
