Job Description

About the job

If you think design for fabrication is the only form of design, this is for you.

If you like conceiving fixtures to assemble your thoughts about design, this is for you.

If you think the the previous sentence is too abstract, this is for you.

If you love giving life to paper drawings, this is certainly for you.
