About the Studio
Ambulante Design Studio is deeply influenced by Latino urban culture, which has shaped our unique design approach. Rooted in our life and upbringing in LA, and enriched by extensive travels throughout Mexico and Latin America, we draw inspiration from both ancient pre-Columbian ruins and modern Latin American cities. Our multidisciplinary approach celebrates Latino aesthetics, including tattoos, lowriders, music, attire, food, and murals/graffiti. We focus on integrating public art and design as essential elements of the urban fabric, collaborating with local artists to create over 20 public artworks across LA County. Through our work, we explore and honor the vibrant Latino American landscape and culture.
