I have been working at the intersection of design and care, a field I have explored through my involvement in public and grassroots makerspaces, design labs, street-based initiatives, and social design projects. My interests lie in participatory and speculative design methods to bridge the gap between action and fiction while addressing complex issues. I am currently pursuing an Erasmus Mundus Master’s in Design for Health and Care [from Belgium, Portugal, and England] and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design from the National University of Colombia.
