Hi, I am Chico. An interaction designer and creative technologist based in foggy San Francisco

.

Recently I completed my Masters in Interaction Design at California College of the Arts.

What appeals the most to me about design is its unique opportunity to craft enjoyable experience that betters people, and the technologies that enable it.

Having lived in 7 cities across 4 countries , my multi-cultural background provides me with broadened perspectives to understand, relate, and empathize with people.

During my time studying Integrated Digital Media at NYU, I had the chance to explore and develop a wide range of skills from 3D to motion graphics, VR to photography.

I believe design is a craft without boundaries and can happen in any medium. So sometimes I even cross over to the dark side and write code.

I'm naturally curious and can spend hours absorbed in reading, tinkering and learning about random, fascinating things and ideas.

I've been known to sink hours reading Wikipedia entries just because they intrigue me, or taking apart perfectly working electronics to understand what makes them tick (and sometimes breaking them in the process). Learning rocket science on Youtube or contemplating the connections between quantum physics and philosophy? Yep, that's me.
