My name is Ignacio (Bolivia, 1988). People call me Nacho, and I specialize in creative business development and advanced design of medium and mass consumer products.
Academically, I am trained as a professional colorist, web programmer, expert in complex production processes, and specialist in security printing processes on paper and plastics. I work alongside Leonhard Kurz and Demsky on a project that explores new production methods and novel material combinations. Additionally, I teach in the latest subjects of the Doctoral, Master’s, and Bachelor’s degrees in the Business and Design program at EPC under an academic partnership with Harvard University.
One of the most relevant projects in my career is leading the security team for the central bank of Bolivia, overseeing the development of the first series of banknotes for the plurinational state of Bolivia. I also provide security consulting for the Ministry of Economy and the General Directorate of Migration of Bolivia, particularly for the new chip-enabled passport of the plurinational state of Bolivia. Furthermore, I was involved in designing and introducing the market to Bolivia’s national football team jersey. I directed the design studio of Architect Freddy Mamani, and through this collaboration, I had the honor of participating with Cartier, Cirque du Soleil, and the gallery pieces we created together with Demsky.
Currently, I manage my own studio focused on creative business development and product design for mass consumption. I continue to work on the project with Leonhard Kurz and Demsky, as well as engaging in other collaborations and advanced consulting work for fellow artists and companies.
