Long Bio

I am an Assistant Professor at the Design School of Universidad del Desarrollo in Chile and a Faculty member at The Design School of ASU, USA. I teach graphic design and design research-related courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. I am also a member of the curricular committee of the Master of Design and Sustainable Innovation (Madis UDD, Chile). Today, I am pursuing a PhD in Design, Environment, and the Arts at Arizona State University, and doing design research as a member of the Transformation Lab at Arizona State University (http://transformationlab.link/).

Since 2020, I have been a member of the International Advisory Council of the DRS (https://www.designresearchsociety.org/) and the Design Literacy International Network (https://designliteracy.net/). The Index Project (https://theindexproject.org/) has certified me as a design facilitator.
