36yo industrial designer, CAD expert.
+5 years experience in innovative start-ups.

Building bridges through design

My educational foundation began in Valladolid, Spain, where I nurtured my creative spirit through a public high school education. Driven by a desire to translate ideas across cultures, I embarked on a journey of language acquisition, becoming fluent in English and French. This fluency stems from both extensive travel and living abroad, including a decade spent immersed in the rich culture of France.

In 2023, I culminated this journey by graduating with a Bachelor’s degree (bac+3) in Industrial Design from 3iS Executive in Lyon, France. Currently, I continue to reside in France, applying my design skills and language proficiency to new challenges and opportunities.

About me

From an early age, I developed a strong interest in problem-solving and analytical thinking, which naturally evolved into a passion for design. Rather than following a purely technical path, I found myself drawn to industrial design, where I could combine creativity with functionality to create meaningful products.

My fascination with camper van design was the starting point of my career, igniting a deep interest in the entire product development process—from ideation to production. This led me to work in smaller companies, where I gained hands-on experience in various design disciplines, including prototyping and incorporating user feedback. In 2014, I achieved my dream of moving to France, where the mountains fueled my passion for snowboarding, biking, and climbing. This move also allowed me to work closely with users, collecting their input to refine and improve product designs.

After six years in the camper van industry, I was approached by SERIAL-Kombi, a key player in the field, with an exciting offer to join their development team. For the next four years, I contributed to innovative projects, combining my design expertise with my passion for the industry.

As part of SERIAL-Kombi’s R&D team, I led significant portions of the development process for camper vans, staying at the cutting edge of innovation. However, in 2023, due to organizational changes, the company underwent a restructuring. Seeing this as an opportunity, I decided to formalize my skills with a professional diploma, dedicating the rest of 2023 and part of 2024 to both studying and working, eventually emerging as a certified product designer.

Later in 2023, I transitioned to a new role at E.C.La., a company specializing in laboratory equipment, where I was offered the exciting opportunity to lead their technical department. While my career has taken new directions, camper van design remains a beloved hobby that continues to bring me joy in my free time.
