About

I'm a creative designer and a scientist.

I evaluate grant applications for Conacyt and review research articles for the Journal of Engineering Design, the Journal of Innovation: Management, Policy & Practice, and the Rapid Prototyping Journal.

I'm an Industrial Designer from UAM, Mexico and did my PhD work in Design Computing at the University of Sydney, Australia. I joined the Learning Lab at the National University of Singapore, did a semester abroad at MIT and I'm a visiting lecturer at Universidad de Cuenca and Universidad del Azuay, Ecuador.

I combine teaching, research and admin duties at Tecnologico de Monterrey in Mexico, where I'm heading the new Department of Industrial Design, teach innovation and product development, and supervise graduate thesis on rapid prototyping for creativity, social simulation of innovation, and participatory design methods.
