Where design meets execution. Crafting meaningful solutions from concept to reality.
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.
The Foundation
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
A structured yet flexible approach that combines human-centered thinking with hands-on execution and strategic vision.
Human-Centered Solutions
Applying Design Thinking principles to understand real needs, define problems clearly, and generate innovative, user-focused solutions aligned with strategic vision.
Build & Experiment
Bringing concepts to life through prototyping, testing, and practical experimentation — because real understanding comes from making.
Results-Oriented
Every project guided by functionality, usability, and visual impact — ensuring design serves its intended purpose and delivers measurable results.
Not a technical manual, but a sincere testimony filled with practical advice, cultural insights, and reflections on the challenges and opportunities of starting over in a new country.
Written to share what I wish I had known — to help others face the journey with realistic expectations and the confidence that, while it's not easy, it's absolutely possible.
