ABOUT ME & MY CV

 

David Güiza Caicedo, MSc.

I'm an Industrial designer with an emphasis on people-product interaction who firmly believes in the strong role played by design research, creative thinking techniques and multidisciplinary integration in the development of people-centered products and systems that have a positive impact on people and their environment and which they really enjoy using.
