DI: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?
MXXHR : This project started at the end of 2016 as an idea for my thesis, from the beginning I focused all my ideas on something symbolic of Mexico and that is how Skall was born. This project took me about 6 months. After my graduation, I have dedicated myself to improve and add more details to Skall.
DI: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?

DI: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?

DI: What made you design this particular type of work?
MXXHR : I want to dedicate my career to the design of alcoholic beverages, and my goal is to learn more about the manufacture of the bottles, the labels and materials. That's why from the university I immersed myself in this branch of beverage design.
