My name is Claudia Pesantes and Im a graphic explorer. I studied graphic design in Lima, my hometown, where I developed a special interest in editorial and corporate design. After graduation, I started working remotely for international design companies, as well as a freelancer, where I was able to gain valuable experience.
Later, I crossed the map to Germany to study a master’s degree in Integrated Design. Here I expanded my radar on printing techniques including risography and woodcut. My work is mainly based on exploration. Whether analog or digital, I love to immerse myself in shapes, colors, textures and layouts. I am particularly interested in topics that generate discussion. From social-political to feminism, my design practice aims to have a human approach.
I’m also passionate about music so I am starting to dive into poster, cover and vinyl design – always up for a design adventure!
