SELECTED PROJECTS
DESCUBRE TU LENGUAJE
Y MANIFIESTA TU IDENTIDAD
kopf v2 developed a plant-based branding case study for CNT (Corporación Nacional de Telecomunicaciones, Ecuador), creating a custom olfactory philosophy based on plant cognition.
The project translated Ecuador’s diverse cultural identities into a botanical scent system — a natural, additive-free blend designed to enhance brand perception, well-being, and sensory communication.

“Nature inspires me to conceive unique, plant-based formulations free of harmful additives.” v2
ABOUT THE PRACTICE
INICIOS INVESTIGATIVOS
EXPLORANDO LA HISTORIA COSMÉTICA
I was born in the Ecuadorian Andes, in an environment connected to Indigenous herbal knowledge, transmitted at home by my grandmother through botanical remedies as living practices of care.
This foundation merged with my training in Europe, in dialogue with the legacy of Horst Rechelbacher, founder of AVEDA, and his vision of plant-based cosmetics, safe and developed from Ayurvedic principles.
I lived and studied in Vienna for 14 years, until my return to Ecuador in 2008, where I consolidated my trajectory alongside Andean and Amazonian Indigenous communities, as well as with experts from related disciplines.
From this cross-cultural research emerges kopf v2, a practice built over nearly three decades, dedicated to botanical formulations and the integration of ancestral knowledge into contemporary processes of well-being, in harmony with the environment.
"Aveda, The Art and Science of Pure Flower and Plants"
At kopf v2 Consulting & Training, the formulation of plant-based products is explored and applied botanical-cosmetic research is developed through hands-on labs. The process includes the development of original prototypes, the creation of unique projects, and the integration of methodologies aimed at maintaining a sustainable and circular balance with nature throughout the entire creative process.
NATIVE 3.0
RAÍCES COSMÉTICAS NA[RRA]TIVAS
POR UN PRESENTE CIRCULAR
After years of immersion, kopf v2 has captured the essence of plant-based cosmetic formulations through extensive research into native knowledge. Here, this experience is shared in the form of an educational methodology based on anthropological tradition and its natural environment.
Native 3.0 seeks the autonomy of Indigenous communities through the self-production of cosmetics based on their botanical knowledge. The program rescues and values traditional wisdom, promotes a deep connection with the environment, creates safe, sustainable, high-quality personal care products, drives the circular economy, and generates a positive impact on resource management.
