ABOUT CD&I
Working globally, acting locally! Is at the core of our business; we work in small team Groups, dedicating special attention to every customer's needs.
Since 1995 our team has kept renewing, allowing young, talented individuals to work and learn alongside our best professors, businessmen and entrepreneurs.
Each project we take on is particularly designed and crafted through our Toronto team's futuristic lens, the Latin touch of our staff in Bogotá, and our team members' outstanding experience and assistance at our European and American offices.
Through consumer analysis, we identify trends, formulate visions, propose strategies, and combine solutions to create spaces, brands, products, graphics, and services to maximize our clients’ brand exposure, recognition, social benefit, and profitability.
OUR MISSION
In addition to advising and designing the right strategies, we work together with our clients to develop real opportunities to improve their business goals.
By applying ten innovation variables, we deliver transversal solutions that range from product design, business models, channel and network design, retail space, and consumer experience to customer service, branding, marketing, and communication strategies that generate a real commitment from their customers.
Many people claim to know the trick when it comes to innovation. But how many experts really have what it takes?
WHAT WE DO
WE LOVE WHAT WE DO, AND WE LOVE TO SEE OUR CLIENTS GROW!

OUR BACKGROUND
Check out some of the highlights!
MORE THAN 25 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, DREAMS AND RESULTS
CD&I Associates was born in 1995, where our founding partners, the designers Angelica Díaz, Luis Angarita, and the industrial engineer Lina Angarita, got together with the idea of having fun, getting ahead, and earning enough to live as "creators" in a place where this was a utopia.
We have understood this whole time that in our business, the results are what count, and in this way, we guide the projects so that we can help our clients grow.
INTERNATIONAL MARKETS
Over the years, we have had the opportunity to grow and expand to countries like Spain and Canada, as well as develop projects in Italy, Spain, Germany, Mexico, the United States, and Central and South America.
We have enjoyed working with startups, entrepreneurs, and Fortune 500 companies in different categories ranging from artisan products with local indigenous groups to services that support entrepreneurship for non-profit organizations.
SUCCESSES, AWARDS, AND RECOGNITIONS
We have received more than 30 distinctions, mentions, and recognitions, including the Red Dot Design Award, Montreal's Arts and Business Personality, the Steel Pencil Award three times, the nomination for Innovators of America, the Madrid and Shanghai Biennials, and more.
We love the results of our innovations, but above all, our highest achievements have been the success and growth of our clients, the happiness of our team, and the satisfaction of a job well done!
In the same way, we work with cybersecurity departments for large multinational companies, developing their education and awareness strategies; we project entertainment centers in Central America and restaurants in Montreal!
We have created gas-injected road traffic systems that have become icons of Latin American culture.
We have designed street furniture footwear, work with the pharmaceutical industry, transportation, fashion, entertainment, brand experiences, financial services for retail stores, appliances that make fun of ourselves, and even accessories that make love on the table.
LEADERSHIP
Our team consists of dedicated and experienced professionals that include industrial and graphic designers, marketers, architects, administrators, urban planners, publicists, engineers, lawyers, chefs, and even magicians.
Our offices are located in Toronto and Bogota, with representatives in Munich, Barcelona, and Guatemala. Each is directed by a skilled professional with decades of experience.
Our Toronto office, which manages our North American clients, is led by a designer with a master’s in strategic design and corporate visons and a master’s in environmental design and Innovation.
An expert publicist with expertise in total design work heads up our Bogota Office.
An architect specializing in interior design supervises our projects from central American markets. Our leading team is complemented by top-level engineers and designers from Europe (Germany and Spain).
