Juan Noguera

Juan holds a Masters of Industrial Design (MID) from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and a Bachelors of Industrial design (BID) from Universidad Rafael Landivar, in Guatemala City. He was raised in a colorful and vivid culture, quickly developing an interest in how things were made, tearing everything he owned apart and putting it back together, often with a few leftover pieces. After a succession of projects related to design for development, Juan was chosen as a Fulbright fellow for the class of 2013 by the U.S. Department of State. He went on to be the lead designer for Voxel8, helping create the world’s first 3D Electronics printer. He is currently Chair of the Product Design BFA at MICA in Baltimore, MA. Juan was honored as one of MIT Technology Review’s Innovators Under 35 for 2017.

He is currently Assistant Professor of Industrial Design at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
