Gustavo Quintana-Kennedy
Co-Founder, Managing Director & Co-Creative Director

Gustavo Quintana-Kennedy is a Guatemalan designer, and entrepreneur whose multidisciplinary practice spans architecture, digital product design, branding, interiors, and collectible design.

He studied Architecture in Guatemala and later completed 30 Weeks, an experimental master's program in Designer Founderism developed by Hyper Island in collaboration with Parsons School of Design, Pratt Institute, the School of Visual Arts, The Cooper Union, and Google.

His work is defined by a systems-based approach to design, where concept, narrative, and technical execution are developed simultaneously. Drawing from architecture, industrial design, branding, and digital product design, he focuses on transforming ideas into tangible objects through concept development, storytelling, proportion, ergonomics, rhythm, geometry, spatial relationships, and manufacturability.

At Agnes Studio, Gustavo’s role as a Co-Founder focuses on the development and refinement of concepts and narratives while overseeing the translation of ideas into functional, manufacturable objects. His practice is driven by the belief that meaningful design emerges when concept, narrative, function, and craftsmanship exist as a single, coherent whole.
