My name is Santiago Ayala, I study Industrial Design Engineering, in the university of Navarra/Tecnun located in San Sebastian/ Spain.  I am 22 years old, I am from Santa Cruz a really nice city in Bolivia, but I lived my childhood in Argentina. Now I have been living in San Sebastian with some friends for 3 years. About my hobbies: I do all kinds of sports but right now I am engaged with the gym, actually, I am training for a Spartan Race on April. I also enjoy hanging out with my friends and family, going to the cinema, or simply going out for a drink. I actually enjoy the design part more than the engineer part, do good market research and create a new concept. I do not have an online portfolio jet, but these are some pictures of my favorite projects.  I named this one SUIT. It is a stove that works using recycled coffee pellets. The company Caffea Eco proposed the challenge of designing a stove for its coffe pellets. Create an environment around the fire that the stove gives off. I am very excited about this new project and i am looking forward to meeting you all. See ya

Hey there! Really glad to meet you all! I´m Antxon, native from Donostia, a charming city located in the north of Spain. Currently, I´m a fourth year Design and Mechanical Engineering student at Tecnun, a welcoming university in my hometown.  One of my all time favorite projects is the one we did for a mechanics related subject, in which we were challenged to create a bidirectional freewheel or clutch. I´m more into de design side of objects rather than their mechanics, so it was a huge test for me to understand what we were asked to do, the available solutions up to that moment and to consider functional factors that I hadn´t paid so much attention to in previous design projects. Finally, since our solution needed to be delivered physically built, we came up with a a model that was possible to be 3D printed in the devices in our college, and although in this kind of components the presentation is usually more focused on highlighting the functional aspects of the product, we tried to approach it from a design point of view, including colours and aiming to show it in an aesthetic fashion too. I´m really excited to participate in the Global Studio project, and by doing so, I hope I can learn more about different cultures and their vision on design, as well as meeting great people from all over the world. When it comes to myself, I really enjoy watching movies, for example The Shawshank Redemption, Casino or Catch me if you can, which I'm sure you would like as well! Although I don´t play any instrument, I´m also really keen on music, so I would love to know about different genres or musicians around the world too!
