Esteban
Poblano-Zenil
Industrial Design
“I’m Esteban Poblano, an industrial designer passionate about creating thoughtful, impactful work through social innovation, clean aesthetics, and user-centered thinking. My projects range from furniture and product design to socially driven solutions that respond to real-world needs. I'm always learning; every experience is a chance to grow and push my practice further. For me, good design is about more than how something looks; it’s about making something that matters.”
I approach design as a tool for change, based on empathy, shaped by aesthetics, and driven by real-world relevance. With a focus on social innovation, I explore how design can address complex human needs while remaining visually engaging and environmentally conscious.From furniture and product design to digital interfaces, my work reflects a balance of good execution, clarity, and purpose. Whether it’s crafting a piece of furniture or drawing attention to overlooked social issues, my work seamlessly integrates these values into simple, thoughtful, and visually compelling solutions.
