1. Could you share your educational/professional background🎙️?
I hold a degree in Industrial Design from the Industrial Design Research Center at UNAM in Mexico. Early in my career, I was exposed to various design fields—ranging from furniture and lighting to graphic design—which allowed me to develop a broad skill set. My transition into the MedTech space began when I worked at Novosanis in Belgium, where I contributed to designing and developing innovative products for sample collection. This experience gave me a solid grounding in user-centered design, compliance considerations, and the unique challenges of bringing medical products to market.
2. What motivated you to pursue a career in MedTech and science 🎙️?
I’ve always been fascinated by the intersection of design, technology, and human well-being. Working in MedTech allows me to use creative problem-solving skills to address real-world health challenges and improve patient experiences. Seeing how thoughtful, user-friendly design can simplify procedures and ultimately help people lead healthier lives has been a powerful motivator in my career.
3. What aspects of your work at IDEVAX are you most excited about 🎙️?

I’m most excited about collaborating with cross-disciplinary teams to bring new medical solutions to life—especially products that simplify complex processes and make them more accessible. The opportunity to merge technical know-how with creativity, while ensuring our designs genuinely serve patients and healthcare professionals, is incredible. It’s not just about designing products; it’s about designing solutions that genuinely enhance quality of care.
