Fernando Vazquez, mindful design.
Hello, my name is Fernando Vazquez. Born in Pasadena, raised in Mexico, I was the kid that loved to be outdoors, always wanting to solve and build and create. Through a mix of architecture and engineering, I found Industrial Design.
I find inspiration from diverse thinking, ethics, analytics, biomimicry, environmental and social justice. Combining human needs with existing solutions and market opportunities, I explore the crossover that leads to innovation. I consider the sourcing, the product architecture, the manufacturing process, designing sustainable systems that respect people, our culture and the environment.
