Aitor

My design journey began on the small island of Mallorca, where as a teenager I would spend hours sketching ideas, building small mechanisms for school exhibitions and designing sets for the local theatre. Those early projects taught me that every design carries a story: a narrative that gives meaning to form and function. I have carried that belief ever since.
