After working several years as Visualization Lead for NOAA's Science On a Sphere program, Juan Pablo Hurtado founded Pachamama Studios B.V. in 2025. This was a response to the abrupt change at NOAA and to fill the science communication void left by this unprecedented change. We believe climate change and the lack of clear and engaging science education around it is one of the biggest challenges that humanity faces currently.

Our name and logo are a representation of the culture and values of our company. Pachamama is quechua for Mother Earth, our provider, guardian, and teacher. We used a GOES East image to represent her: always at the center of everything. This image was captured the day our company was founded. The Chacana or Andean Cross represent the dualities in our world that still come together as one while providing space for diversity and harmony. The images inside the Chacana cover from the "surface of the Sun, to the depths of the Ocean" representing the breath of our work.
