Industrial designer and visualisation specialist
Raúl is an industrial designer from Barranquilla, Colombia, with a strong foundation in art and creativity. He earned his degree in Industrial Design from Universidad del Norte in 2015 and has since built a versatile career developing products for the furniture and consumer electronics industries. His roles have ranged from hands-on collaborator to design lead, balancing creative direction with technical execution.
For the past three years, Raúl has worked independently with startups and companies across North America, Latin America, and Europe. With 10+ years of experience, he focuses on creating thoughtful, functional products that resonate with users. His work bridges the emotional and the practical, tackling design and manufacturing challenges through close collaboration with clients and multidisciplinary teams.
In addition to product design, Raúl integrates 3D visualization and storytelling into his process, helping ideas take shape with clarity and impact.
