Noemí Cortizas Martínez

Freelance Design & Engineering Consultant I developed innovative CMF (Colour, Material, Finish) design strategies and worked on industrial design projects. In all my work, I ensured consistency and exceeded client expectations by harmoniously integrating brand identity, sustainability, consumer needs, market trends, and aesthetic and functional requirements. Some of my freelance missions: #SUSTAINABLE RETAIL PACKAGING (NDA) – Holding Group CMF design strategies for retail packaging Selection of sustainable materials and finishes to comply with EU directives and EN standards Technical documentation detailing aesthetic and technical requirements for a call for tenders #BOREALIS LAMP – Inés RiR & Co.

As an associate of the MIH team, I have participated in various CMF and industrial design projects for public organisations and companies in Spain. Just like all my freelance work for Ydemaker, I approached every project based on eco-design principles (recyclability, repairability, sustainable materials, and separability of components at the end of the product’s life cycle). I also provide advice on manufacturing technologies and technical aspects to ensure project success. #HKOFFEE by Himikode – IoT device for the speciality coffee market Sketching, ideation, and 3D modelling Consumer trend forecasting, market research, and CMF strategies Creation and modelling of advanced parametric textures (Grasshopper) Generation of photorealistic computer-generated images for communication purposes #THE CIRCULAR TABLE – Tattoo Contract R&D of a sustainable, circular material and eco-design of a table for a hotel reception area Awarded 1st prize for Most Sustainable Design (MIAD Fair) #MARI CHAIR – Betanzos HB Design of a luxury sustainable furniture piece that adds value to Betanzos HB’s “Tablex” material
