  • Luis Fernando Sánchez Barrios

    Tecnológico de Monterrey

    Fernando Barrios is a senior student currently studying industrial design at Tecnológico de Monterrey Design School in Mexico City Campus. He pursued industrial design to transform his ideas into something tangible, always caring about simplicity and functionality. After spending his entire life in one of the most polluted cities in the world, it became imperative for him to design for sustainability. Product design is his passion and he usually seeks for innovative alternatives in its materiality. His creative nature led him to be a self-taught graphic designer, which then pushed him to delve into screen printing and become a certified printer, as he considers screen printing a key element for product detail and is also an important feature in his designs.more
