Carolina Miñana is a Brooklyn-based visual, product, and spatial designer originally from the Philippines. Her practice is defined by a multidisciplinary approach that explores the synthesis of technical production, material R&D, and heritage craft.

Driven by a rigorous curiosity for materiality, Carolina views design as a wayfinding tool, a means to uncover the intricate relationships between built environments and the objects that inhabit them. Her work is anchored in a profound respect for the "lifecycle of the object," translating conceptual storytelling into physical reality through a blend of pioneering biomaterial research and precise technical execution. By merging procedural rigor with a passion for global craft traditions, she creates a dialogue between the structural integrity of a space and the narrative depth of the materials within it.

Through a lens of community-based identity and hands-on experimentation, Carolina develops design solutions that are as functional as they are culturally resonant, honoring the structural integrity of craft while challenging the boundaries of contemporary design. 

She received her BFA in Integrated Design from Parsons School of Design.
