Senda, a narrow, arduous path, worn by passage. A thread binding material, symbolic and artisanal heritage to its contemporary becoming.

·The Brand
SENDA is born from a question about identity, where we come from, where we are going, and which fragments we choose to carry in the body. The brand works through the reinterpretation and deconstruction of memories, symbols, crafts and territories, building an identity weave in constant transformation.
Its language crosses the artisanal, the political, the historical, the intimate and the multidisciplinary, turning matter into narrative and narrative into presence. The brand stands at that point where something begins to take shape, weight and meaning, an undefined identity, crossed by origin, coexistence and metamorphosis.
At Senda we become matter, because becoming matters.

The following folders gather, on one hand, previous university work that has shaped my trajectory as a designer; and on the other, a glimpse of what I have built in my own university teaching, along with what I have achieved guiding my students.

·The Experience
SENDA The Experience was born to rethink how independent Ecuadorian fashion is presented and valued. The project transforms the process behind a garment, its materials, artisanal techniques, stories, timings and human intervention, into an immersive experience where the audience observes, walks through, listens, touches and interprets.
Through a multisensory gallery, performative formats, technology, curation and participation, SENDA proposes a new way of looking at local fashion, not as an isolated product, but as identity, craft and contemporary creation.
