A site

I use social networks every day. I’m very curious and I like to search everything in Google. I have Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and I love to see videos on YouTube, particularly I like to see Ter channel. She is a millennial architect from Spain and makes videos about everything. She´s specially interesting about pop culture like Rihanna, Ariana Grande, the social networks, the Internet in general, the Kardashians and I love her because she can relate that with her career and also with other things like science, history, Greek mythology and my own career. Her channel helps me to remember things about my career because architecture is related with design. I discover her channel with a video in the Playground account on Facebook where she said that she is a princess architect and I wanted to see that. One of her first videos was very controversial because she said that the Kardashians was more important than Gabriel Garcia Marquez and in Colombia everybody hated her. When I was in the school I saw her videos over and over again but I didn’t believe that I would finish studying something related to architecture.

But well, here I am.

Bye!

My Career

When I finished the school I thought to study design because a teacher told me “study something related with the things you do in your free time”. In my free times I usually created collages, I drew and cover pages for my notebooks.

When I started in the university I was so scared because I didn’t know with clarity what the career was about. But now I like so much my career because it’s literally the things that I did in my free times when I was in the school.

Also I think that the design thinking will help me for anything because the way that you think changes totally and you have to be open minded. Also the designer has to think about the environment and the sustainable design and that helps so much to the society and the world.

My favourite subject is Processes and Prototypes because I love the way that the teacher teaches and I love to do manual things.  In the subject we do bindings and we learned editorial design and we learn to use InDesign for do publications.

That’s all, see you next week!

A place I have enjoyed

Hi everyone! Today I'd tell you about a place I have enjoyed. 

The last September in the National Holiday I went, with my boyfriend, to Liquiñe and we really love it. It’s a place near of Villarica in the South of Chile. The place has a lot of native forests. The weather was so rainy but we went for a walk in the hill anyway.  

The house where we stayed didn't have any signal (Tv, Wi-Fi, call signal). So we were able to disconnect of our phones and Santiago. Behind the House were the hill and in the hill were a river with a waterfall.

In the trees were a lot of diweñes and we harvested there. Then we cooked them with cheese in empanadas.

In Liquiñe there are a lot of natural hot springs and we took a bath there in the middle of the rain. No, we didn’t catch a cold jaja.

And the people was so nice with us.

Thanks for read! Bye!

Hello! This is me :)

Hi everyone! I'm Javiera Millaray. I'm 19 years old.  I’m studying design in the university of Chile. I pretend to be a great editorial designer. I like to read and make notebooks.

I live in in Cerro navia, there I have two cats: Kurü and Gatucho. Kurü is a black cat, kurü means black in mapudungun and is the biggest cat and Gatucho is white, grey and brown. They are male.

I’m studying Mapudungun too so I frequently confuse English and Mapudungun jaja 

Well, that´s all!
