ABOUT

About_2.jpg

Carola is a Chilean designer and visual communicator with an MA from the Royal College of Art and a background in exhibition and graphic design. Her research-led practice explores communication through immersive narratives, spatial experiences and visual storytelling, including exhibitions, editorial projects, multimedia installations and immersive environments. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Design Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London.

Rooted in her studies in Design, MA Cultural Management and MA Visual Communication, she develops collaborative projects at the intersection of art, science and culture. Her work is driven by experimentation, public engagement and environmental awareness, viewing design as a tool for fostering understanding between human and more-than-human worlds.

 

In 2021, she co-curated the Chilean Pavilion at the London Design Biennale, awarded the medal for the Most Outstanding Overall Contribution. Recent projects include her first solo exhibition in London at Cromwell Place (2023); Devastaciones Generativas in Chile (2024); Graphic Days Torino (2025); Power to Decide in New York (2024) and Melbourne (2026).

 

Since 2022, she has been collaborating with the Royal College of Art (RCA), developing projects across exhibition design, research, graphic design and visual communication for the School of Design, School of Architecture and School of Communication. Her work has also been developed in collaboration with organisations and cultural institutions including the London Design Festival (UK), SheDecides (Global), New Creatives Sciences (UK/Argentina/US), Fungi Foundation (Chile/UK), Sand Dance Studio (Sweden), Under Extraction (Germany), Teatro a Mil International Festival (Chile), and the Digital Task Force for Planning (UK), among others.

 

Her research has been presented at international conferences of design studies, including events in Buenos Aires (2015), Taipei (2016), Medellin (2018), Barcelona (2018), New York City (2020), Quebec City (2021), Melbourne (2022), Sevilla (2023), Bogotá (2023) and recently in Salzburg (2026).
