José Antonio Cerrada Industrial Designer I’m a bilingual, award winning, industrial designer with over 10 years of worldwide experience. My work experience has taken me from my home country of Venezuela to locations like the biggest importer/exporter in the world, China! and most recently Argentina. Through these opportunities, I have seen my designs get produced and manufactured in the market. I believe in giving end users designs that are original, yet practical, where they are most likely to come back and repurchase other items. Most designers like to focus on words like “clean, minimalistic, modern, etc.” but to me, as a designer, creativity is limitless and depending on each project (product), the creative process can be born into their true form differently. To me each project I work on tells a different story and as it’s creator I let it be born organically, the only parameters I set is that the design has to be mechanically functional and practical for the end user.
