The Beginnings.
Javier was born and raised in Guatemala, and from a very young age, one of his hobbies was to create good in society. This opened the doors for him to belong to social aid groups such as Interact (Rotary Sponsored Club) and Un Techo Para Mi País, where he realized that, no matter how small an action is, the important thing is to be able to improve people's lives, and with this make an impact in their lives. This interest in helping others grew and expanded until he became interested in the environment. These interests culminated in his high school thesis, which strengthened the idea of helping others, with a touch of creativity.

Following the idea of creating an impact on society through creativity, Javier studied at the Savannah College of Art and Design, graduating in 2024 with a BFA in Industrial Design. This opportunity opened the doors to collaborate with companies such as Gravity Sketch, Zero-G, and the Hult Prize Organization, among other institutions, to create various products and programs that encourage the quality of life in people in an innovative way.
From mental health issues to problems that affect low-income communities worldwide, Chau has dedicated his entire career to building projects that meet people's needs. All of this is to create meaningful products that help people link and even improve the past, present, and future of society. This way, people can establish a true connection with each invention and with it, make an impact on them.
“Design is more than creating beautiful things. Design is connecting people with their past, present, & future”
