Background

From Buenos Aires to Copenhagen

I studied Industrial Design at UADE in Buenos Aires, with a strong focus on physical product development. Before that, I spent time in London learning to draw the human figure, and trained briefly in full stack development, which taught me to think in systems. My first design job was at a high end furniture showroom, then I worked as an IT technician at the Public Prosecutor's Office while I freelanced as a product designer. In 2025 I moved to Copenhagen, drawn by its design culture and a slower way of making things.

How I work

Designing and building, in the same loop

At Voltumachine I work on coffee roasting and packaging lines, designing the steel structures, platforms and connections that make a roastery actually run. The same week I might be modeling a frame in Fusion 360, sourcing tubes with a supplier, and on the workshop floor checking welds. I find that loop, between drawing, deciding and making, is where the project becomes real. It also keeps the design honest. If something cannot be built, you find out fast.

Materials & manufacture

What I work with, hands on

Ceramics

Studio practice with Berin Bruner in Buenos Aires. Mold development, kiln operation, glaze and porosity research. The pieces from Saturn and Frø came out of this work.

Biomaterials

Trained at Etimo in 2024, working on textiles made from spent coffee grounds. A-Light, my foldable lamp, uses one of these materials for the shade.

Wood

Joinery, connection systems and assembly thinking. I like designing pieces with the workshop in mind, not against it.

Metals

Multi material joining and fabrication, mostly through my work in industrial machinery. Welding, structural systems and tolerances at real scale.

Looking for studios that build.

I am looking to join a design studio or product lab where the workshop is part of the practice. If that sounds like your team, I would love to talk.
