I’m a Chilean designer and PhD candidate based in the UK. My work explores the intersections between citizenship, politics, grassroots communities, and their narratives. I engage in typographic practice from the margins, particularly annotation, as a seemingly subordinate gesture that disrupts the dominant: murmuring what was meant to be silenced, suggesting what could have been, opening cracks in the established order and, on another register, acting as a fellow voice that expands the official conversation while questioning the biases inherent in data.

Rooted in Latin American design for social change during the 1960s and 1970s, and guided by the conviction that design can serve as a tool to democratise invisible aspects of citizenship, my research adopts a decentralised perspective from the Global South. By engaging in design practices that go beyond the traditional Western canon, I seek to embrace multiple perspectives and foster a pluriversal approach to creation and knowledge, establishing the collective voice as a civic and transformative force that challenges dominant narratives.
