hello!
i’m X\u00e8nia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I am an Industrial Design Engineer based in Barcelona<\/strong>, currently pursuing a Master\u2019s in Industrial Design Engineering in Scandinavia<\/strong>.

I enjoy working across the full design process<\/strong>, from sketching and concept development to 3D modeling, prototyping, and refining details. Hands-on making and attention to materials and finishes are what inspire me the most. I thrive in collaborative, interdisciplinary environments where I can learn, experiment, and continuously improve as a designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
