PORTAFOLIO
| by Gabriela Gaitán
For me design is the opportunity to help people, generate memories, feelings and sensations through projects that solves problems in a creative way, meeting the user's needs and make then feel grate, comfortable and special.
Neville Brody once said: "Language is a limitation, a prison. Design allows other spaces to be explored." Design is the means by which we can be free and express things that are sometimes difficult to describe with words.

CLOKY
This was an academic project which was made taking into account the ergonomics of the product and the preferences of the user (in this case retro style).
Several functions that alarm clocks found in the market usually have were taken into account, however, some extra elements were included in order to fulfill the proposed function.

It is a classic retro alarm clock, which has a function of speaker too. It has auxiliary inputs, bluetooth and FM. In addition to your charging input.
One of its main advantages is that it has an alarm system specially designed for people who find it difficult to wake up, it is also adaptable to the user's angle of vision, since it is a device that allows it to be tilted.

This collection is inspired by the "Sapho longwing" butterfly native to Central America, which has a sapphire color and very striking patterns in black and white. It is one of the most exotic and delicate butterflies that exist in the world.

The glasses have an axis in the lenses which allows them to move vertically and overlap one another, generating two types of use options.

The movement of the butterfly's wings was the main inspiration to develop the purse's opening system.

I wanted to use butterfly shape, color and movement of its wings as the main basis for the designs. Likewise, to reflect the delicacy of this butterfly within the designs, a highly transparent material was used to achieve what was proposed.

TEJIENDO SEXUALIDAD
This was a team effort in which we proposed to rescue traditions of the Guayu culture (such as weaving), to teach young people from rural areas about sexuality (contraceptive methods) through these tissues that will become bracelets. In order to prevent teenage pregnancies.
My role within the team involved conducting research on the context, as well as providing the proposal and the technique for the final design solution.

PATTERN TO MAKE THE HANDLES
