Collaborative Design
Hi There! My name is Andrea Rosero, and this is my portfolio! I hope you enjoy all my projects and points of view as much as i enjoyed creating them! I am really COMMITTED with all my projects, my approach with my projects is so intimately close that in each one of them i leave a part of myself. That’s when they stop being objects and transform into characters! They will present themselves as they are with their attributes, oddities, stengths and weaknesses and become real and achieveable for anyone who feels indentified with their shapes, colors and narrative, because my objetcs are mirrors of the potential traits some may have in greater or lesser degree inside their personalities. This book is about them, because through them you will know me.

Experimenting with materials we conclude that marble is not only elegant but also is the perfect element for creating this system because of it´s weight making it resistant and steady .
