About

I’m Jorge Peñaloza, a founder and visual designer specializing in infographics, information design, editorial design, illustration, and data visualization. I turn complex news, scientific, economic, and technical topics into clear, accessible visual narratives—building visuals that help people quickly understand what matters.

Over the years, I’ve coordinated infographic and visual journalism teams and delivered visual communication for institutions and data-driven projects. I also develop interactive digital storytelling experiences using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and I enjoy collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to create engaging, web-based ways to present information.
