Guillermo Cárdenas is a social designer and artist working across visual narrative and contemporary material culture. Blending vernacular craft with new technologies, his practice explores how material processes can challenge gendered structures in design and generate alternative ways of worlding.

Guillermo has worked for international clients including Petit Pli, Glithero, Merve Bedir (Postane), Nevena Lukic (Harper’s Bazaar) and Service Design Fringe Festival.
