Hi, I’m Nahuel, an Argentine industrial designer currently based in the United States and finishing the final semesters of my degree.
When I start a project, something usually bugs me first, a product that doesn't hold up, a solution that solved the wrong problem, a form that exists for attention rather than reason. That friction is where I begin.
I design with conviction. When I commit to a project I go deep, into the material logic, the use scenario, the thing it needs to communicate without saying it. I see design as a structured system where identity, material, production, and intention must align. And I think it should contribute clarity, not noise.
What frustrates me most about design today is how often the market comes first and the problem second. Form is not decoration, but consequence. Design is not a reaction to trends, it is a position.
Beyond design: ocean, movement, art, music, and videogames.
Independent Product Design Practice Ongoing
Design and redesign of functional components with a focus on usability and manufacturability. Work spans concept ideation through rapid prototyping and iterative testing using 3D printing and fabrication tools.
