I'm tati ferrucio, a Brazilian industrial designer passionate about design and innovation.
I work in the creative industry since 2016, designing products for various markets such as toys, furniture, and home appliances. From Rio de Janeiro to NYC and now Dusseldorf, I've experienced various design practices worldwide, enabling me to push boundaries in design, manufacturing, and sustainability within corporate and consultancy settings.
From my practice, I have learned that design should bring out the best in us. My ultimate goal is to empower people to improve their quality of life and make a positive impact on their communities.
Design must suit people's lives in different times and contexts. It becomes meaningful and timeless when it allows individuals to build lifetime memories, becoming an integral part of their journey throughout this human existence.
Learning from different cultures and co-creation are two core values of my work. Human beings are inherently creative, and culture serves as an expression of our community's identity.
When designing, I strive to create solutions that align harmoniously with the project's context. My cultural background enhances my ability to empathize with diverse communities and cultures, enabling me to access different realities and co-create new possibilities.
Embracing culture in my work has given me the maturity to reflect on my own values as a designer. Culture is dynamic and constantly evolves. I take pride in embracing and adapting to these changes.
As I continue to grow and adjust to new realities, I persistently question why we do things the way we do.
Design is on the edge of innovation. Designers are the pioneers in breaking the linearity of the product development process, reimagining our methods of making.
Our commitment to the environment is vital. As a designer, I aim to challenge the way we experience the world today, in order to deliver a sustainable and meaningful future for society. We cannot settle for anything less.
Since we are the most exposed to what lies ahead, it is our responsibility to drive society towards a more equitable and sustainable world.
