Marcelo Blanco grew up in Paraguay and spent the last decade living and exploring cities in Spain, Argentina, and the U.S. His holistic design approach is shaped by nomadism, philosophy, social sciences, and technology.

In the near future, he plans to learn more about 3D modeling, UX design, photography, videography, and animation.
