Hello! I’m Juliana Castro Varón, a creative director, designer, and the author of Papel sensible. I’m the Founder of the feminist open-access publisher Cita Press and the Senior Designer at the global human rights and technology NGO Access Now.

As a designer, I want to explore the assumptions behind technology and its users. In particular, I'm interested in design's impact in online civic discourse and disinformation. I have a traditional design background with an MFA in Design from the University of Texas at Austin (on a Fulbright scholarship), a BFA in Graphic Design from the National University of Colombia, and over eight years of experience with museums, universities, non-profits, and agencies—in product, research, digital and print. I've presented on art and design at conferences globally, speak three languages, and have lived in 10 cities in 4 countries. I like words English doesn't have, contemporary art, and carefully-designed inclusive products.
