This doctoral research discusses, through graphic design practice and grounded in visual epistemologies, the socio-technical conditions for printing texts in minoritised languages (particularly indigenous languages of Central and South America). Text markup is used in a quasi-forensic manner (observing the particular case of the glottal stop, a speech sound historically challenging to represent in Latin based orthographies) to interrogate primary sources and to present research findings visually, whilst also enabling engagement in a wider conversation about language rights, decoloniality, and pluriversalities.

I am a design researcher and practitioner. In my doctoral research, I discuss, through graphic design practice and grounded in visual epistemologies, the socio-technical conditions for printing texts in minoritised languages.
I am also a comics enthusiast, having explored themes ranging from love to set theory in my own drawings. My strips have been published by The Lacanian Review and my minimalist graphic novel Original Case (in Portuguese) was published in 2017 by Lote 42.
