About

Antonio Valverde is a Los Angeles-based queer Mexican American graphic designer and visual artist whose work explores queer maximalism, subcultural narratives, and cultural celebration.

Rooted in research, he draws from queer nightlife, Mexican visual culture, and 1990s pop futurism, often using music to shape rhythm and emotional tone. He moves between installations, speculative visual identities, and album worlds. Antonio approaches design as part celebration, part preservation, crafting immersive experiences that amplify underrepresented voices while embracing moments of play.


Open to freelance and collaboration opportunities.

Currently based in Los Angeles, CA.
