Jimena Vergara Sanz March, 2015TRANSCRIPT
A Designer is a curious and fun being with a strong and particular obsession towards problem
solving, objects, services, materials, processes, technology and beauty
A good designer is passionate, constantly seeks to master and enhance design-thinking skills through observation and disciplined practice
An exceptional designer is sensitive and empathetic, drives design through creative
confidence. Lives a balanced and healthy life, achieving wide consciousness of oneself, others
and the planet. Uses creativity to solve significant problems aiming to improve other’s lives
I daily enjoy the process of becoming an exceptional designer

The Challenge: Entering a place in civil war and design with their inhabitants. Using ancestral craft indigenous knowledge to create urban products
Was it with the help of the army that I could live with this native community, who lives in a red zone on civil war, for one week.
The textiles created are traditionally made for clothing, the patterns and technique are used as a starting point for designing urban bags.
