About Me

Who I Am

Alan Becerril

I’m Alan Becerril, an Industrial Designer based in Vancouver, Canada.

I’m Alan Becerril, a multidisciplinary designer who bridges the gap between design and fabrication. My experience spans industrial design, manufacturing, architectural construction, and digital creation, giving me a unique perspective on how ideas evolve into real products and built environments.

Originally trained as an Industrial Designer in Mexico and now based in Vancouver, Canada, I’ve had the opportunity to work across product development, manufacturing, and large-scale architectural projects—experiences that have shaped the way I approach design today.

I understand materials, manufacturing, assembly, and the challenges of bringing an idea into the real world. That’s why I enjoy working across the entire development process, from the first sketch to the final build.

Whether I’m designing a consumer product, developing prototypes, creating digital content, or contributing to complex construction projects, my goal is always the same: solve problems through thoughtful design and purposeful craftsmanship.

Experience

My Journey

The Foundation

Industrial Design | De La Salle Bajío University

This is where it all began. Studying Industrial Design gave me the tools to think creatively, solve problems systematically, and understand how ideas become products. It shaped the way I approach every challenge today.

Designing for Adventure

Mayan Seas | Product Development

My first professional experience introduced me to the world of product development through the design of kayaks and aerodynamics. It was here that I learned to combine industrial design with engineering principles, user ergonomics, and manufacturing constraints. One of the projects became the basis of my bachelor’s thesis, “Development of a Greenland Paddle with an Aircraft Wing Effect to gain velocity”, marking the culmination of my Industrial Design education and my first opportunity to transform research into a real product.

Designing for Global Brands

Imbera Cooling | Industrial Design

Joining Imbera transformed my understanding of product development at an international scale. Working alongside engineering teams, suppliers, and global clients like Coca-Cola taught me that exceptional products are the result of collaboration, strategy, and execution. Beyond designing refrigeration solutions, I contributed to standardizing development processes and strengthening collaboration across teams, reinforcing my ability to connect creativity with manufacturing, business objectives, and large-scale production.

Design Across Industries

Sakar International | Graphic Designer

Joining Sakar International expanded my perspective beyond product design into branding and visual communication. Designing retail packaging for multiple brands across consumer electronics and lifestyle products taught me how thoughtful design influences perception, builds brand identity, and shapes the customer experience long before a product is used.

Starting Over

Canada | Showmax

Moving to Canada meant stepping outside my comfort zone. Working in event production taught me adaptability, teamwork, and how to deliver under tight deadlines in fast-paced environments.

Building at Scale

First Dimension Glass

Working on some of Vancouver’s most iconic architectural projects completely changed my perspective. I wasn’t just designing anymore, I was building. This experience deepened my understanding of new materials, precision, safety, and the realities of construction. Putting all my knowledge as a Industrial designer at maximum.

Always Creating

Personal Projects

Today I continue exploring new ideas through 3D printing, electronics, content creation, and product development. Whether I’m designing custom projects, documenting my process on YouTube, or experimenting with new technologies, I’m always learning by making.

Design Thinking

Human-Centered Solutions

Applying Design Thinking principles to understand real needs, define problems clearly, and generate innovative, user-focused solutions aligned with strategic vision.

02

Hands-On Making

Build & Experiment

Bringing concepts to life through prototyping, testing, and practical experimentation — because real understanding comes from making.

03

Strategic Design

Results-Oriented

Every project guided by functionality, usability, and visual impact — ensuring design serves its intended purpose and delivers measurable results.

Product Design Personal Project

KASK Helmet Brim Kit Visor

Born from real field experience — while wearing a KASK safety helmet on construction sites, I consistently faced direct sun exposure and heavy rain affecting visibility and comfort.

A low-profile, integrated brim-style visor that enhances environmental protection while respecting the helmet's safety requirements, ergonomics, and visual language.

Project 2
Industrial Design

Custom Dog Grooming Table

A height-adjustable grooming table designed to help pet groomers safely handle large dogs. Featuring a durable steel structure, waterproof controls, reinforced supports, and a 50+ kg lifting capacity for improved accessibility and ergonomics.

The table features a steel structure with epoxy coating for durability, a waterproof foot pedal for height adjustment, reinforced safety arms, and protective aluminum edges.

Project 3
Industrial Design

Cashier Cooler

The Cashier Cooler project was developed to create a new generation of high-performance cooling solutions for the EMEA market, addressing both customer needs and the strict eco-design regulations established by the European Commission.

The objective was to compete with existing POS coolers by improving energy efficiency, increasing capacity, and delivering a more refined design that meets European aesthetic and quality standards.

Excerpt

Canadá Sin Filtros

¿Y si me voy a vivir a Canadá?

Esa fue una pregunta que me hice muchas veces antes de dejar todo atrás y subirme a un avión rumbo a un país que, hasta entonces, solo conocía por fotos, videos en YouTube y las historias de otros. Como muchas personas, yo también soñaba con una vida mejor. Más seguridad, más oportunidades, un sistema que funcionara, tal vez incluso un poco de nieve y ese famoso "primer mundo" del que tanto se habla. Pero lo que nunca me imaginé fue lo duro, complejo y a la vez transformador que sería todo el proceso.


Este libro no es una guía técnica ni un manual de migración. Es un testimonio honesto, directo y sin adornos sobre lo que significa mudarse a Canadá siendo latino, sin ser millonario ni tener todo resuelto desde el inicio. Es un retrato de la realidad, contada desde mi propia experiencia, y también desde lo que he vivido al lado de muchas otras personas que han pasado por lo mismo.


Aquí vas a encontrar lo bueno, lo malo y lo que casi nadie te cuenta:

¿cómo es llegar sin conocer a nadie?, sobrevivir el primer invierno, trabajar en lo que sea, lidiar con el idioma, con el sistema, con la nostalgia.


También te contaré como poco a poco, uno va encontrando su lugar, su gente, hasta su otra familia.

Si estás pensando en emigrar a Canadá, este libro es para ti. Y si ya estás aquí, probablemente vas a sentirte identificado con más de una página. Al final, todos compartimos algo: las ganas de construir una vida digna, aunque sea empezando desde cero.


Bienvenido a esta historia real.
