Experience
- Partnership with Alvaro Chang-Say (industrial designer):
Worked with Alvaro to design and bring to life sustainable and accesible alternatives to a stand up paddle. We named the design "SUB" short for stand up boddle, because the solution we found was making one out of recycled single use plastic bottles.
- Freelance design for my portfolio:
Designed and built several sustainable alternatives to everyday objects. For example a comb made out of bamboo, a lamp made out of recycled PVC pipes, a case made out with recycled billboard vinyl,etc.

For the past few weeks I have been working on developing concepts on creating a modular design to house the LA homeless on a big scale while keeping prices down
