Hola! I’m Andres.

My love for design started with a pencil on school notebooks. As a kid, I drew to capture my imagination. Today, I do it to bring entirely new possibilities to life. There is nothing more fulfilling to me than taking a tiny spark of an idea and turning it into a tangible, high-fidelity reality.

I look to the natural world for answers. I’m deeply inspired by sacred geometry—nature’s perfect, inherent blueprint. By blending these organic principles with structured, user-centered solutions, I build experiences that feel both intentional and deeply human.

My perspective is shaped by my roots. Born in 1992 in Bogotá, Colombia shaped me, then I made new versions of my life here in Canada, my dual heritage gives me a unique lens on how people connect, adapt, and evolve across different cultures.

When I’m not sketching concepts you’ll find me playing catching apexes on the go-kart track, or hiking up a mountain.

Let’s build something beautiful together!
