Who am I - Quién Soy
This design research project explores how self-knowledge shapes personal identity, focusing on young adults facing crucial decisions about their future. Drawing on insights from neuroscience, the project recognizes that decisions shape experiences, which in turn form beliefs that ultimately influence our actions and sense of self.

The "Quién Soy" project was conceived to provide a supportive environment for young adults exploring self-discovery and identity. One of the primary challenges was translating the abstract concepts of personal growth into a functional and engaging physical space. To address this, I designed a circular layout that facilitated both individual introspection and collaborative engagement. By creating distinct areas for personal reflection and group activities, the design allowed users to choose their journey while fostering a sense of community.
Solution
Integrating multidisciplinary content from areas such as neuroscience, psychology, and art presented another significant challenge. Through extensive research, I harmonized various themes into a cohesive narrative that informed both the spatial design and programming. Balancing ambitious design aspirations with budgetary constraints required strategic material selection and creative funding solutions.
