José Rodrigo de la O Campos is interested in the way design relates to society in Mexico from its aesthetic, social and economic aspects. He sees as alarming the little clarity surrounding what this discipline can achieve, therefore, in addition to practicing it he aims to spread its potential. 

To him, his profession is everything but boring: one day he gets to design a chair inspired in sonideros and the next, to analyze mexican flora as an inspiration source for design in precious metals or to create prototypes of alternate reality. This is why, although his projects revolve around Critical Design, the topics he covers in his classes go from understanding the issues that affect Mexico City to cumbia-playing robots or digital manufacturing machines that utilize cochineal dye. 

In Netherlands, de la O Campos learnt to respect the concept of a project and its communication. Afterwards, he aimed his work towards Critical Design to promote reflection on consumption and the status quo. Que considers design to be an attitude to face adversity and minimize risks with; however, he claims that public and private sectors in Mexico have not understood the significance of investing in culture, innovation, science, technology and design; the latter being the main link between the former and everyday life.

As an academic at the School of Architecture, Art and Design of the Instituto Tecnológico de Monterrey, de la O constantly contributes to the dissemination of knowledge and literacy in design. Through his academic programs, he has collaborated with The Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, the Home Smart division of Ikea, and other NGOs and institutions.

"We have to leave `Made In Mexico´ behind in order to move towards `Designed In Mexico'. We are a manufacturing country that imports design; that paradigm has to change." Mexico needs a design culture, to change the perception that design is an accesory and to consider it an essential part of innovation in companies: this is what Jorge Diego Etienne thinks. 

He earned his Industrial Design degree from the Tecnológico de Monterrey, took several courses in the Netherlands and specialized in Japan with the intention to focus on strategic design consulting. Since the day he opened his studio seven years ago, he was convinced that design is a discipline with the power to interact with other creative or scientific areas. 

He defines design as a catalist for change that defines a positive future for society, culture and industry. Etienne is interested in design beyond objects. He promotes it through articles, conferences and classes. He feels his mission is to motivate young people to take an interest in it. From his point of view, creative careers generally involve passion. He claims to be in love with his work and, even though obstacles usually arise, he feels an immense joy for the simple fact of doing design in Mexico. He goes from research to the conception of ideas to translate them into shapes, objects, spaces and experiences that, when enjoyed by someone else, grow his vocation.
