Industrial design and product development engineer. Objects that can be manufactured, interfaces that get used and the code that ties them together, from idea to part.
A mirror that folds itself before it hits something, and keeps the driver seeing when it does.
Ultrasonic folding, camera view on the central screen, blind-spot radar and a dynamic LED indicator, validated against ECE R46 and in SolidWorks Simulation.
A simpler, cheaper bikepacking rack with a hanger to dry clothes on the move.
Material teardown of the original rack, a single bent aluminium frame and a hanger that lifts 90° and turns 180° out of the wind.
A plant pot that waters itself on indoor light, so the plant survives the holidays.
Organic photovoltaic film, a positive-displacement pump dosing 250 ml, a lift-out rPET tank and a recycled PP body with no glue or paint.
A home on a windy hill above Donostia that makes its own energy and reuses its rain.
Hybrid PV-thermal panels, a small wind turbine, a heat pump, rainwater harvesting and recycled cellulose insulation.
Taking a premium air vent apart to find where its footprint hides, then cutting it.
Cradle-to-grave LCA with the IHOBE calculator, hotspot analysis and nine redesign concepts. The final concept cuts the carbon footprint by about 85 %.

Five phases that repeat in every project, whether it is an injected housing, a robot or an app.
Users, context, regulations and competitors. Understand the problem before drawing anything.
Sketches, quick mock-ups and use scenarios. Many cheap ideas to pick a good one.
CAD, calculation, manufacturability and rendering, to decide with data and with images.
3D printing, electronics and clickable interfaces. Test, break and fix.
Drawings and documentation for production, automation or code ready to ship.

Exploded view Simplified model of SEAT Ateca side mirror, generated in code.
The Ateca is a compact family SUV. Of three archetypes, the team chose Maite, a mother who picks her children up from school on a narrow, chaotic street and is afraid of clipping the mirror while manoeuvring.
Brief: keep the Ateca family look, remove that stress with assistance systems and stay fully within ECE Regulation 46.
A benchmark of six rival SUV mirrors, mapped by price and technology, showed no affordable high-tech option. The regulatory study set the hard limits:
Brainstorming and four-step sketching produced three preliminary designs: one with a rain deflector, an aerodynamic one with blind-spot indicator, and a robust one with a hidden auxiliary mirror. A Pugh matrix chose concept 2, positive on viability, aesthetics, function and regulations.
An ultrasonic sensor folds the mirror when an obstacle gets close; a camera streams to the central screen while it is folded; a radar drives a blind-spot LED. The circuit was redesigned at 12 V with the sensors in parallel to the EFB battery.
SolidWorks Simulation checked aerodynamic load, a 33 J pedestrian impact, fatigue at one million cycles, 500 N vertical and 300 N lateral loads, modal and thermal behaviour.
The material specification manual turned functional, mechanical, thermal and chemical requirements into CES EduPack constraints and performance indices. The top five candidates were weighted after min–max normalisation; PCTFE was chosen for its UV, humidity and chemical resistance. Machining roadmaps were written for both mould halves.
A 1:1 aesthetic prototype printed in resin, filled, primed and painted, with an amber indicator and a laser-cut mirror on a hand-shaped curved base.
Simulation in SolidWorks went beyond the syllabus. The next step would be a functional prototype to test ergonomics, tolerances and assembly that virtual tools do not show.

Industrial design, engineering, technology and digital experiences in one profile: Product Design Engineering.
I am in the fourth year of the Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Design and Product Development Engineering at Mondragon Unibertsitatea, finishing in June 2027. Since September 2025 I have been doing dual training at ULMA Handling Systems in Oñati, in the Studies and Proposals department: I model in Revit and produce KeyShot renders and 3ds Max animations for pre-sales.
As a freelancer I design and build websites and applications with React, Next.js and Tailwind CSS. I am interested in artificial intelligence, robotics, automation, IoT, mobility, sustainability and connected products.
I am looking for specialised internships, graduate programmes and master's degrees in Product Design, Design Engineering and Integrated Product Design.
