Hi. Nice to meet you.
"Up here in my tree, newspapers matter not to me"*
Stories are the real gems for me—yours, mine, and everyone else's. It's all about linking the dots, sharing experiences, and embracing the journey. My journey has led me to settle in Sydney as a permanent resident. Here's a snippet of my story:
Service Design
Costa Rica
1983-2011
Architecture
My architectural background and work set the foundation for my exploration, rooted in the application of Universal Design principles. This ignited my passion for understanding the genuine interaction between people and space, earning me the title of a social architect :)
Kansei Design 感性デザイン
My quest led me to Japan, delving into the intricate world of Kansei—a human mental process triggered by experiences with external stimuli. There, I seamlessly integrated Service Design concepts into my exploration of spatial perception
Research & Strategy
Specializing in cross-cultural research, I've delved into understanding how Kansei can elevate the perception of users in the automotive industry, always from a human-centred approach
Right at the crossroads of architecture, Kansei, and design research, I dove into the art of crafting and enhancing service experiences tailored to the diverse needs of people
