David Ramírez Corredor

Product Designer | Innovator and Teacher

As a Product Designer and Mechanical Engineer, I integrate interdisciplinary STEM research with engineering precision and design intuition to create nature-inspired, sustainable solutions. My expertise in rigid, hyperelastic, laminar, and natural materials—including metals, polymers, leather and sustainable alternatives—allows me to engineer products that push material and structural boundaries. I thrive in multidisciplinary teams, leveraging biomimicry, generative design, and advanced manufacturing to develop functional, scalable, and environmentally responsible products that redefine user experiences.

Notable Projects + My Approach to Challenges

I design products by balancing imagination, engineering precision, and business viability. My approach ensures that projects are not only creatively unrestricted but also technically and commercially feasible from the start. This process has enabled me to develop innovative consumer products, biomimetic packaging, and robotic soft goods solutions that integrate sustainability and user experience seamlessly.
‍
Unlike traditional linear approaches, my process is adaptive—it doesn’t assume that every project follows the same path. Instead of refining all aspects at once, I prioritize solving the biggest uncertainty first—whether it’s technical feasibility, user experience, or scalability
‍
Every project follows these five integrated stages:

1. Strategic Discovery → Looking beyond obvious problems to uncover opportunities in materials, structures, and business models.
2. Imagination-First Concept Development → Exploring ideas freely while ensuring at least one feasible path exists.
3. Challenge Prioritization → Identifying the riskiest unknown and solving it before committing to full refinement.
4. Adaptive Prototyping → Testing what matters most first—whether it’s mechanics, usability, or market demand.
5. Refinement & Realization → Transitioning from concept to scalable impact while keeping the core vision intact.

This framework allows me to de-risk projects early, prevent wasted effort on unnecessary refinements, and ensure that every design decision contributes to both functionality and market success. It has been applied across physical products, digital experiences, and research-driven projects, ensuring adaptability across disciplines.
