Yo¶

My name is Daniela Meza Balvanera in love with life, art, nature, shapes and color

I'm 22 years old and I'm currently studying Industrial Design in the Universidad Iberoamericana de Puebla. Through this space, I want to explore how far I can take my understanding of the subjectivity of creativity, while sharing some of my interests, experiences, and projects, as well as the ideas and processes that shape my perspective. I believe we create relfections of who we are, where we come from, what we see, what we experience and what we think, showing ourselves through desing.

Learning.

A little bit of my work so far¶

Wood¶

Working with wood and different techniques.

Biomaterials¶

Exploring properties, textures, and possibilities. Undersand their potential.

Sketching¶

Shape ideas. I feel like I flow when I sketch. Not only designs or products, but also the things I see around. A pen as a way to capture and remember.

Origami¶

This project is about preserving the importance of our city’s historic center by introducing its history and landmarks to children. It consists of an interactive children’s game in the shape of a Platonic solid, designed to guide children toward some of the most important and emblematic places in the city center, such as the Cathedral and 16 de Septiembre Street, one of the area’s important streets.

The structure also features decorative walls inspired by Talavera, a traditional ceramic art form from Puebla. The project was exhibited on 16 de Septiembre Street, in front of the Cathedral, allowing children and people passing by to interact with it. It was satisfying seeing children interacting naturally with the structure whithout telling them to.
