Hi. My name is Salvador Orara. I'm a design and innovation educator, creative technologist, and entrepreneur with a career spanning over two decades between academia and industry. My journey reflects a passion for activating creativity and increasing possibilities through a commitment to education and critically exploring the intersection between design, technology, and the human experience.
