Back to original languageAbout Mateo
Multidisciplinary designer based in Paris, I create projects where product design, graphic design, and art direction converge. My approach blends craftsmanship and experimentation to create objects and experiences that tell a story.
A graduate of Strate École de Design, I enriched my education with a semester at California State University (CSULB) and a stint at HEC Paris for entrepreneurship. This diversity has led me to collaborate with various fields: from ADEO (Leroy Merlin) to the Paris Fire Brigade (BSPP), as well as the Red Cross and the Army.
Today, as a freelancer, I support studios, brands, and artists in their projects involving objects, spaces, packaging, and visual communication.
My tools:
Product & furniture design
Art direction & visual identity
Graphic design, photo & video
Prototyping (ceramics, concrete, artisanal techniques)
Software: Adobe Suite, Rhino 3D, Keyshot, Blender
What motivates me? Transforming ideas into tangible creations that combine aesthetics, functionality, and meaning.
