My name is Cristina, and I'm an Industrial Designer specialized in Toys and Products for Children. I am an open and calm person; I've always enjoyed observing my surroundings and the people within it. I like to reflect on the nuances of life and consider laughter as a vital element to keep us healthy in our daily lives.

Discovering new music and collecting any form of creative expression brings me immense joy. I read stories and walk a lot. Color also plays a significant role in my life. I enjoy traveling, but I prefer to do it without haste.

I chose to specialize in childhood-oriented design because I regard play as one of the most primitive and fundamental gestures in nature. For humans in particular, whether to evoke smiles or to understand the world, play will always be a guiding light amidst adult-centric views.

Materia en uso

Or "Matter being Used" is my latest design initiative and a personal manifesto based on my approach to always prioritize functionality in creation.

As designers and consumers, we must be aware that our constructed material environment must have a clear and necessary purpose.

It's in our hands to keep matter flowing.

Do you have an idea swirling in your head that you'd like to materialize? Don't hesitate to contact me!
