Gaby Hernández (she/her) is a Costa Rican designer, associate professor and endowed chair of graphic design at the University of Arkansas’ School of Art. She is the founder of “Story & Material”—a bilingual design research and making initiative that looks into the connections between identity, visual storytelling, memory, and materiality. 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. Gaby’s professional and scholarly work on multidisciplinary, decolonial, anti-racist, equitable, and inclusive design has taken place in multiple countries and has been disseminated nationally and internationally on journals and at professional conferences since 2010.
