María Fernanda García Velázquez
I’m an industrial engineer from Mexico with a background and experience in project management, human resources, and quality across industries like technology and manufacturing. Exploring these different areas helped me realize that what I truly love is connecting with people and designing solutions that improve lives. I’m excited to be part of the SDSI Master’s family — a space that will allow me to grow creatively and contribute to meaningful, human-centered innovation. I’m also a passionate cyclist, and sharing that passion through leadership roles in summer programs has been deeply rewarding. Cycling gives me clarity, joy, and reminds me why I believe in designing for a more empathetic and sustainable world.
