About Studio Monado
Studio Monado is an initiative by industrial designer Martin Botero. After earning his BFA in Industrial Design from SCAD, he embarked on a cross-country journey from Georgia to California, ultimately establishing the studio in the tranquil coastal city of Marina. Nestled between the technological hubs of San Jose and San Francisco and the vibrant art scene of Los Angeles, the Monterey Bay area provides Studio Monado with a unique vantage point. This strategic location allows the studio to serve a diverse range of clients up and down the West Coast and beyond, drawing upon the best of both worlds – innovation and creativity.

Our Core Values
Innovation is the birth of creativity, transforming what was once an idea, into reality. Innovation's value is not just in novelty, but in its capacity to improve, enhance, and transform. Because of this, we aim to deliver unique solutions that drive positive change and create a better future for all.
Innovation
As much as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, value is in the hands of the user. A design's value is not inherent, but is created through the user's experience and perception, therefore we strive to design products that put the user first and ensure they are intuitive, accessible, and effortless to use.
User-Centric
Because how you do anything is how you do everything, we believe that attention to detail is not just about aesthetics, but about creating seamless and intuitive user experiences, and a deeper dedication to quality and excellence. Every interaction, no matter how small, matters.
