Photographer + Creator

Designer based in Singapore

I moved to downtown Manhattan in 2002 and now live in Brooklyn's Clinton Hill neighborhood. I know most of my friends through my work designing art books and art-directing fashion magazines. Now that I have a wife and daughter, the most fun parts of my week take place during the day instead of at night.

Raul de la Cerda (1988), Mexican industrial designer. Trained as a designer in Mexico, Paris and Madrid, looking to have a proper understanding of design, to produce new proposals in products and spaces, always starting from a concept without forgetting his identity, his context and the essence of each project. In 2012, he became independent and started a design firm with his name, Raul de la Cerda. He has won several awards, like the first place in the category of "utilitarian object" in the National Silver Price "Hugo Salinas Price 2015". He has been in several exhibitions at fairs and museums like Desgin Week Mexico, Abieto Mexicano de Diseño, Salone del Mobile (Milan), Salone Satellite (Milan), Cervantes Academy (Madrid), Zona Maco (Mexico), The London Design Festival (London), The Franz Mayer Museum (Mexico), among others. His inspiration is life, the continuous curiosity about things, travel, art, his family, the people around him, his country; Mexico, his history and the passion and the desire to have to do things different.
