I'm Laura Lucía Torres, MA Integrated Design Research and Visual Designer based in Germany. My overall work as designer reflects my concern for the challenges we face today— I focus on sustainability, social impact, and ethical branding. My experience has been focused on providing design and consultancy for food brands through advertising agencies, tech companies and culinary brands at an international level. Currently being part of the awesome communications team at United Nations University in Bonn.
Over the years, I’ve developed a critical perspective on design, and now I use that to question the norms and flip the script on how we think about products and brands in our daily lives. Recently finished my master’s thesis in Interdisciplinary Design Research at TH Köln, where I dive into the political and cultural layers of food systems related to coca leafs, project nominated to the Cologne Design Prize. I explore food from every angle—ethnic, cultural, natural, and geographical.
I also bring art into the mix, with music, ceramics, illustrations, and photography playing a big part in my creative process. My work sits at the intersection of design, research, and art, aiming to inspire reflection on the act of consumption as a whole.
