Ciro Davila

Consultant Engineer at Capgemini Engineering

Milan, Italy
I am an Industrial Designer with a Master in Design & Engineering. My hometown is in Venezuela but I have been living in Colombia and Italy where I have been working and studying, learning every day more about design and people.

I love to design, create and solve concepts, imagine their future, how their are going to be produced and used. I enjoy working on projects that take you to a path of evolution and change when each line generates new ideas and the process of learning is infinite.

My skills include product and industrial design, concept generation, design for manufacturing and technical knowledge of materials and manufacturing processes. I have strong abilities in CAD modeling (SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor) and product rendering and animation (Keyshot)
