Gina Sanchez and Miguel Ubaldo are designers by trade, inquisitive by nature, and the creators of Tortolita Inventiva, a studio that produces ecological art supplies.
For them, research and investigation are a fundamental part of their lifestyle. They hand-make their own gadgets and art materials naturally, questioning the process, origin, and environmental impact of products that are currently on the market.
The pair have collaborated with artists such as Amarillo Pastel and Gimena Romero, and are also part of the Sin Plástico directory, Greenpeace, and the Latin American Sustainable directory.
