Hola! 

I am Andres Hurtado. A student of life in the process of understanding human behavior and how our connections with the world are always evolving. I am firm believer that we can always improve or adapt our experiences through design.
My designs are user-centered solutions that meet the needs of clients and consumers. I am often inspired by the universe's laws and sacred geometry. Moreover, my Colombian and Canadian background have given me a unique perspective on life.  
I love playing soccer, go-karting and hiking mountains!
