I was born in Guayaquil and lived there till I was 10 years old. My bachelor was on Electronics, however I was seduced by the art of Innovation and decided to travel to Australia to study and explore. On this journey, I was also seduced by design thinking and social entrepreneurship. Since then, I want to make happy coincidences happen, believe we need to be unresaonable with our convictions and work hard for a better world. Now, I live in the craziest place on earth, the lungs pf the world, the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest. Working for a newborn University (Ikiam Amazon University), trying to break paradigms and stop exploiting natural resources and instead learning from natural systems and aboriginal cultures.
