Cesar Cardenas
CAD Designer & Quality Controller
CAD Designer & Quality Controller
Born in Mexico, César is a jeweller and CAD designer with a degree in Industrial Design from Tecnológico de Monterrey in Guadalajara, Jalisco. Naturally curious and driven from a young age, he has always sought to explore materials, master tools, and experiment with distinctive techniques. His interest in jewellery and 3D design deepened during university, where he specialized in Jewelry Design, Manufacturing, and Marketing. Throughout this period, he took on freelance projects for acquaintances and referrals, which allowed him to broaden his skill set and invest in new tools. The blend of materials, software, and techniques he has since mastered has led to the creation of intricate, multi-component pieces exhibited internationally at events such as Milan Design Week 2022, NYC Jewelry Week 2023, and Paris Fashion Week 2025. Alongside his CAD work, César continues to refine his craft through traditional jewellery-making methods, often working with specialized techniques like the Japanese metalworking process Mokume Gane and the Korean technique Keum Boo. This balance between digital fabrication and hands-on artistry is central to his identity and fuels his constant pursuit of knowledge and experimentation. He believes that mistakes are an essential part of learning. César loves watching YouTube for education and entertainment, he loves his grey tabby Marzipan and his tortie Cat Mochi, and speaks French, Spanish, and English.
