My Phylosophy

Cosmic Perspective

Applying the scientific method to design processes and everyday life. Committed to don't mistake novelties for values. Constantly seeking for objective truths and advocate for proven design principles.

Keep Learning

"As the area of our knowledge grows, so too does the perimeter of our ignorance," said Neil Degrasse Tyson while paraphrasing John Archibald Wheeler. I believe to be human is to learn, and to be part of a civilization is share your knowledge.

Excitedly VR

Every 10 to 15 years, a new major computing platform arrives. First, it was the internet, then personal and mobile computing. Now it’s virtual reality. This technology's here to stay and I love exploring it's presence/flow possibilities.

Empathy Driven

Empathy is at the heart of design.

Without the understanding of what others see, feel, and experience, design is a pointless task and just a style excercise.
