IE University: In Their Shoes – Carlos Loaiza

For Carlos Loaiza, the magic of design lies in seeing the little details in life that others might ignore. Carlos, or “Charlie” as everybody knows him, is devoted to every aspect of his craft, and came to IE University for a holistic learning experience. He found it in the Bachelor in Design, and is busy expanding his own ideas by taking in those of other students of the program. Design is about making an impact on people, he tells us, and he can’t imagine his life without it. It’s part of his identity and helps him understand who he is, despite its changeability. Indeed, Charlie tries to change the way he thinks and works every year. ---- Para Carlos Loaiza, la magia del diseño radica en saber ver los pequeños detalles que otras personas ignoran. Carlos, o Charlie, como todo el mundo lo conoce, es un apasionado de este arte y vino a IE University para vivir la experiencia de aprendizaje holística que le ofrecía el Grado en Diseño. Ahora está centrado en desarrollar sus ideas y en aprender de los otros estudiantes del programa. El diseño consiste en crear un impacto sobre las personas, afirma Charlie, quien añade que no se imagina su vida sin él. Es un arte que evoluciona continuamente, pero que forma parte de su identidad y lo ayuda a entender quién es, aunque él mismo cambie su forma de pensar y trabajar todos los años.
