Design is feeling

Colombian designer with over 15 years of experience in creating brands, editorial projects, visual products, and objects that cross the boundaries between art, mathematics, and functionality.

My training as a Graphic Designer began at a very young age, inspired by technical drawing, art, and a curiosity to understand how things are structured. I graduated with honors, and during my time at university, I won the 2004 PAD Academic Design Award from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana with an industrial design project. Since then, the intersection of logic, intuition, and aesthetics has been the heart of my work.

For a decade, I developed freelance projects in branding, product photography, advertising design, and printing, mainly for the floriculture sector. In 2017, I opened a private tattoo studio called Inktegral, where design took on a more emotional dimension, working on skin as a living canvas.

My style doesn’t follow a fixed formula. I prefer to explore new languages, integrate knowledge, and create from listening and concept. I believe that every good design is born from deeply understanding an idea and translating it with coherence.

In recent years, I have focused my energy on personal projects. From that process came Fractal 9, a sculptural piece of furniture that won the 2025 A’ Design Award in Italy. That same project inspired the exploration that led to my first digital book: The Number of God?

Today, I work from a flexible and independent studio, where design is, above all, a tool to explore the invisible, find meaning, and build significance. I believe we were designed, and therefore, to design is also a way to remember who we are.
