Collection: Joel Escalona
Joel's passion has led him to found his own studio, focused on the daily role of design and creative direction. This has driven him to aim for an international and multidisciplinary design agency capable of providing contemporary, strategic, and technical details concerning product development. To achieve his vision, Joel has worked with several companies, industries, and producers at many levels and in different contexts. His work is the result of a methodical projection of each procedure, allowing him to enjoy a full schematic view of the creative process, enriching his studio's values and vision, which focus on the everyday applications of design. Such efforts have been awarded at the Premio Iconos by Conde Nast’s Architectural Digest and the 6° Bienal Nacional de Diseño (6th National Design Biennial), one of the most prestigious design awards in Mexico.
