Luisa Restrepo

I am a dual-degree student in Industrial Design and Industrial Engineering at Icesi University, where I also work as an academic assistant. What drives me every day is finding the perfect balance between technical functionality and the human experience; I am passionate about developing solutions that are mechanically robust and visually innovative. I have a strong aptitude for 3D modeling, animation, and rendering using Blender, as well as for data analysis and programming logic using R and Python. This duality between creative design and engineering optimization allows me to approach problems from multiple perspectives. Throughout my career, I have built very diverse projects that reflect these interests, including: HALO WorkSphere 2040: The co-design of a speculative home workstation concept that integrates spatial computing, circadian lighting, and a cantilevered mechanical seat. Gretnam: A modular, transformable micro-corrugated cardboard packaging system designed for food deliveries that unfolds flat into a picnic blanket. Inclusive Keyboard: The research and physical design of the standard Braille cell layout for a keyboard, focusing on the tactile and dimensional optimization of the ESC, ENTER, and SPACE keys. CHROMAX PRISM: The comprehensive design, from color palette to manufacturing lines, of a futuristic urban loot concept inspired by prismatic and iridescent materials. I enjoy complex challenges, whether conceptualizing a smart parking application with sensors or designing mechanical diagrams. detailed. My constant goal is to design products and systems that improve daily life with a highly analytical and creative approach.
