Leonardo Gutierrez

Greetings, I’m Leonardo. I’m an industrial designer living in Bogotá, Colombia.

I have been working as independent designer since 2013, when I finished my career I have been traveling in Europe for half a year, showing my thesis in several universities there, and getting new knowledge about architecture and urban studies, the most amazing thing of that travel, was that I had the opportunity to learn about Italian food, from one of the most recognized chefs of Italy, it really was a great coincidence, my design teacher was his roommate back on the 80's when they were studying in Milano, so he was so kindfull with me, and shown me great things, obviously that doesn't made me a chef but, I have acquired good taste, enjoyed nice flavors, and learned about Italian traditions.

In my personal area I have been practicing cycling since I was a kid, but they were like 5 or 6 years in which I've been training soccer with millonarios junior league, but in 2010 I had suffered a mayor injury in one knee, so I left that sport. Back then I decided to return to cycling, At the beginning I ride in downhill discipline, but life had another plan, so in November of 2013 I had an accident, I was very close to had an clavicle fracture, actually sometimes I feel pain when I give all my effort in a race, but that made me change my mind and i decided to ride on road bike discipline, it's a lower impact activity and I had the chance to knew a lot of wonderful colleagues, that's really amazing, so that's what I have been doing the last decade.
