I designed a visual system that works across both digital and print media to create a cohesive narrative for
Jaguar Lens, a research project by architect and professor Juana Salcedo at the University of Texas at Austin. The project was awarded a grant from the Graham Foundation.
The design system aimed to highlight the interconnections and entanglements that link the jaguar to American territories, both urban and natural, while offering an invitation to imagine other possible futures—ones where all species, human and non-human, cohabitate.
Based on this visual language, I designed the panels for all three sections of the
Jaguar Lens exhibition. This involved finding ways to balance images, maps, and data visualizations with bilingual text (English and Spanish) in an inviting and harmonious way. The exhibition is free and open to the public until April 11th, 2025, at the UT School of Architecture in Austin, in the Mebane Gallery.
I also designed and developed the project website, where visitors can explore the cartographies featured in the exhibition and download the data, extending the research’s reach beyond the gallery space. This required adapting the design system to a digital context, ensuring legibility and accessibility throughout.
