Impresos México, a risograph self-publishing press

Founder and Creative Director
Branding and publishing

Founded in 2022, Impresos Mexico is a risograph publishing house and printing press based in Mexico City. Through visual arts and editorial design, we aim to explore and experiment with the diverse identities that can be connected to Mexican culture.

As a Founder & Creative Director at Impresos México, I have developed a brand that is cohesive not only visually but conceptually and with an editorial through line. My responsibilities include:

• Developing publishing projects from start to finish, which includes concepting to printing. So far we have published 9 books in total.

• Creating all graphic materials for the brand including digital assets, print ephemera, web updates, etc.

• Giving talks and lectures regarding the press at different institutions.
