Patricio Ortega is an architect by profession and a carpenter by trade. Eight years ago, he co-founded Maderística, a small design and artisanal workshop making signature furniture. Together with Carlos Aracena, he is working to elevate carpentry to the same level as art and design, organizing workshops with the goal of repositioning this long-underestimated craft.

His work was selected for the 5th Ibero-American Design Biennial in Madrid and has been published by the media digitally and in print, including "New Chilean Creatives, Product Design" by Juan Pablo Fuentes, and the web series "Manufacturing", which records the work of new generation artisans who have excelled in different trades.
