Gaby Hernández' work looks at the connections between identity, visual storytelling, memory, and materiality. Her work is bilingual, visual, and heavily emotional. She experiments with texture, image, type, and visual juxtapositions, touching on cultural identity and heritage. This is applied in her teaching through the development of visual storytelling methods that help individuals unearth their unique visual languages, as a way to demonstrate how decoloniality in design starts by making space for one’s own expression.
