Eduardo Palma

Communications Designer

New York, NY, USA
I’m a graphic designer from Bogotá, Colombia, currently based in New York. I recently graduated from the MFA in Communications Design program at Pratt Institute. I’m passionate about visual communication, music and politics, and have worked on various editorial, motion and branding projects.

I have recently worked on an editorial project for Pratt Institute featured at Design Observer’s 50 Books/50 Covers, and recognized by Core 77 and Graphis Design Annual. I have also presented my work at AIGA’s Fresh Grads lecture, Ralph Pucci International in Los Angeles, New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center and most recently the Young Lions party in Cannes.
