Andy Diaz Hope earned his BS and MS from Stanford University’s Joint Program in Design—a collaborative program between the engineering and art departments. Diaz Hope’s work began to find its voice while working as an engineer and designer for companies such as Apple and Microsoft. Realizing the notion of progress had lost its luster for him and that technology was failing to improve many fundamental qualities of life, he began making work which seeks to offer alternative view points to the mainstream media out of a desire to foster dialogue and critical thought. His work encourages exploration of both the physical and intellectual worlds we live in.
