Dino Sanchez graduated from Carnegie Mellon in 1999 with a BFA in Industrial Design. His work spans a wide range of projects from consumer products, to illustration, to purely conceptual thoughts and ideas. Intrigued by multiple creative disciplines, Dino believes that the intersection of one discipline to the next works to enhance a particular thought, a certain method and ultimately the realization and communication of an idea.

Prior to starting his design studio, Dino was a lead designer at Birsel + Seck. He is also co-founder of Orange Italic with type designer Christian Schwartz. Dino continually explores and develops creative projects across a wide range of disciplines. His work has been awarded with a number of utitlity and design patents, a Good Design Award from the Chicago Atheaneum, CES Best in Show and recognition by a number of publications.

He was formally an adjunct professor at Columbia College Chicago, where he taught classes focused on CAD and it's relationship to the industrial design process. Dino brings over 10 years of experience using Solidworks CAD software to the BeShape Design Workshops.
