I'm working on a research about functionality, looking for functions  in exoskeletons (insects, marine animals and any other living specimen) and traying to improve functions in consumer products casings or product shells.

The main objective is to develope a better design methodology using bionic principles and biomimicry (now that I discover biomimicry and biomimetics) integrating fucntional analisys (in nature and industry) in the process of designing a product.

I've been working on design for the past 15 years, as a professional industrial designer, teaching at university and working on ecodesign projects, masters lessons and seminars for companies and designers.

In recent years my interest and work is based at university doing research and practice in ecodesign and how nature has done what we are thinking about, that's why I'm so interested now in biomimicry.

all the best, hasta pronto
