Introduction

My name is Garazi Navarro Ugidos, and I am a student of Industrial Design and Product Development Engineering at TECNUN (University of Navarra), located in the city of San Sebastián (Donostia), Spain. San Sebastián is a beautiful city in the north of Spain, renowned for its incredible gastronomy and rich culture. The city offers many lively celebrations, such as the Tamborrada, held on January 20th. However, I live in Lasarte-Oria, a small town just 15 minutes from Donostia by car. While it’s not as large as San Sebastián, it is a great place to grow up due to its friendly atmosphere and sense of security. Living here in the Basque Country has also given me the opportunity to learn one of the most beautiful languages in the world: Basque. In addition to Basque, I also speak Spanish and English. My hobbies include playing basketball and traveling. I have been involved in sports since I was a child, and I continue to play basketball for Easo, a club in Donostia where I’ve been a member since I was eight years old. I currently compete in Spain’s first national league, which is the fourth tier of Spanish basketball. Playing basketball is my refuge space where I can relax and recharge. Additionally, I have a deep love for traveling, as it allows me to immerse myself in different cultures and broaden my perspective on life. One of my biggest dreams is to travel the world with my family, as I am a very family-oriented person and enjoy spending quality time with them. I will graduate in 2025, but I am excited to continue learning beyond university. I would like to find a company where I can start my professional career. I am open to working in Spain or abroad, as I’ve always been eager to experience living in other countries. I have a passion for creativity, innovation, and designing solutions that help people. Creating something that can positively impact someone’s life has always been a dream of mine. I have a particular interest in biomedical products due to my long-standing desire to contribute to the healthcare field. Additionally, I am very interested in the intersection of artificial intelligence and design, and I am eager to explore how AI can be integrated into innovative solutions. I am also thrilled to be part of the Global Design Studio. Sarah, Emma, and I are eager to start working on developing a solution for a country like China. The cultural differences inspire us to think outside the box and foster personal growth. We believe that working in a culturally diverse environment not only challenges us to approach problems from fresh perspectives but also helps us build adaptable, globally relevant solutions. This opportunity allows us to expand our creative horizons and collaborate in ways that push the boundaries of design and innovation. We are excited to dive into this experience, knowing it will be a significant step in our personal and professional development. You can contact me via…
