About Diego

Modelling patterns and optimizing sustainable urban behaviours.

Role: Engineering + Design + Data

Engineering experience: simulation of emissions or energy operations, HVAC mechanical systems, and application of both passive and active sustainable strategies.

Data Science experience: analytics, machine learning, deep learning, and data pipelines.

Design experience: UX/UI software design, physical prototype fabrication & testing, art installation design & construction.

Problem Space: ( Environment ) x ( Urban ) x ( ?! )

I have focused on urban products and interventions through the a wholistic prism of energy and material equilibrium. That which truly environmental solutions require. Working in software has taught me to meet users where they are if you truly want some kind of adoption or behavioural change. I think combining constraints of the problems one tackles doesn't simply add their potential impact but rather multiplies it:

(?!) = I don't like establishing the central issue. The core is always a moving target dependent on the project at hand. Acknowledging that each issue requires a re-evaluation of objectives and constraints is crucial.

Why MUIG Studio?

I choose to portray my work as a series of collaborations because I see myself as an integrator, therefore reflected in the team-based work I do. I no longer believe in the myth of the great designer or inventor that develops their magnum opus alone in a studio. I actually found this obsession quite harmful in reality... The best work is done together.
