2024
When I discovered the Fabriacademy program, I understood that there was a space where I could combine my knowledge of industrial and apparel design in diverse interdisciplinary projects. I am very excited to be able to experiment.
Assignments¶
I hope to be able to complete all the lessons very soon, this time I focused on taking those in which I have little or no knowledge.

About me¶
Hi! I am Stephanie Urbano P. I am a fashion & industrial designer based in Lima, Perú.
I am a multidisciplinary designer with an interest in the development of textile products, apparel and accessories, research and development of innovative products and services; with knowledge of diverse materials and manufacturing processes, and end-to-end project management focused on user needs. My personal design practice is linked to sustainable design, circular design, responsible production and consumption; as well as digital fabrication, textile manipulation and the study and application of craft techniques.
My background¶
I was born and raised in Huancayo, Junín, a province at 3500m.a.s.l. where nature and culture meet at every step. As a multidisciplinary designer and artist by vocation, I like to approach projects from an exploratory, collaborative and divergent point of view. The proposals I develop are empathetic with people and the environment. I question all the possibilities of available resources and the impact of the final product before, during and after its life cycle. The sustainable and social design approach governs my work.
As an artist, manual techniques are my favorite, and I complement them with different skills and digital programs, combining tradition and technology.
Previous work¶
From my personal interests and my academic background in design, I had the opportunity to develop different projects focused on industrial design and apparel, here are my favorite project and the link to my portfolio for those who are curious.
Flexia¶
The outstanding value of this backpack lies in its ability to expand and contract intuitively and aesthetically, thanks to an innovative textile manipulation based on tessellations. These folds allow the user to increase or decrease the width and length of the backpack, transforming its volume as needed, without compromising the durability and elegance of the design.
