Mariela Mezquita — Mexico City, Mexico

“Signage is a clear reflection of the society and context where it is placed and it must evolve with it. For example, the classical binary bathroom ‘men’ and’ ‘women’ does not represent the growing LGBTQ community, thus these signs are getting close to becoming obsolete. Through signage we can help society to move forward and make spaces where everyone feels included.”

Mariela Mezquita is a women–led studio specialising in branding, packaging, illustration and way-finding. Through design, they are “on a mission to help projects that motivate sustainability, culture and overall well-being for the Earth.”
