Hey there! :)

I am Laura Lucía Torres — a Senior Designer and Researcher based in Germany. Backed by 20+ years in graphic design and an M.A. in Integrated Design Research from TH Köln, my practice is rooted in the synergy between sustainability, social impact, and ethical branding.

Currently Head of Design at the United Nations University (UNU-EHS / UNU-VIE) in Bonn, I bridge scientific research and communication. Through DesignOps, I lead the development of design systems and impactful science publications.

Art fuels my creative process. Photography, music, ceramics, and illustration serve as mediums to explore the intersection of design, research, and craft, often becoming a form of meditation for me. :)

Feel free to check out my portfolio or write me.
