Available to hire
I’m Carla Tábora, a Barcelona-based graphic designer, illustrator, visual artist and photographer with roots in Rio de Janeiro and Caracas. I co-found Godel Tabora Design S.L. and lead branding, visual identity, editorial design and packaging for cultural institutions and private clients.
My multidisciplinary practice explores memory, identity, and the poetic nature of everyday life, often through intervened/altered photography. I also run TiliaBooks and Tiliabooks Editorial Projects, developing illustration-led publications and visual narratives.
