María José Castillo (they/them & she/her) is a graphic designer and visual artist with a body of work that feeds off of their curiosity with language and communication. Their conceptual approach incorporates the analysis of cultural background related to the way we read the written word, not only as a functional element in a discourse, but also as an object existing in a spatial field. María José’s work is heavy on formal exploration of type and shape, with a particular emphasis on how type, layout, and color affect the way a message is read. They also dive deep in a quirky and colorful universe with their illustration work, often accompanied by lettering exploration.
