Currently living in Glasgow, Scotland.
Sonsoles Teresa’s work surrounds itself with intricate designs, often overlapping typography, imagery and illustration as one. As an inherently curious person, she likes to explore and research endlessly, but most importantly, immerse herself in all types of books to know the subject matter intimately before beginning the design process. As a physical media lover, Teresa always incorporates the concept of memory into her work, recognising the importance of her identity and the moments that shaped her along with it. Her work is fundamentally involved with visual exploration, merging form and content seamlessly.
inter+connected
+ Jan-Aug 2026
inter-connected is a publication that is a combination of exploration and play, questioning how we pursue and consume knowledge. Each of the 3 sections within the book — eternal, evolving and ephemeral — uses the spiral as a metaphor of time, embracing its fluidity and recognising the ambiguous nature of information and our human desire to seek it.
Serving as a speculative reader, the publication holds a collection of sources that share a space on the page to create a dialogue that it might not have done through singular existence. The proximity of separate knowledge allows the reader to shape their own subjective thoughts, annotations, ideas and conceptions. Through the use of typography, research and editorial; it challenges the central role of linearism in our society, where functionality reduces complexity.
Coming from a culturally diverse family, I’ve always been incredibly aware of our personal experiences and how they shape us. My uncle once told me that curiosity is the best trait that a person can have, because the desire to learn in a constantly evolving world is to feel the euphoric sense of wonder, and truly, that is the essence of human experience.
What does your memory look like? The space within this section visualises the knowledge we might hold, and their proximity can encourage connection and create new meaning.
A spread of the eternal section. The long body text is rotated and it becomes continuous, flowing endlessly as the other paragraphs begin to merge with it. The decorative illustrations grow as the section progresses.
How do we create connections between our thoughts in our daily lives? When we work, speak, think?
A divider between sections with its own typographical language to convey the feeling of, in this case, ephemeral time.
Inner cover of the publication, showing the triangle emblem that visualises the concept of the 3 sections being connected as one to the spiral.
The illustrations that overlay on top of the text are inspired by the illumination of 15th century Bibles, incredibly ornate in their designs.
A spread in the ephemeral section, where the layout is visualising the memory and what it holds: images, unusual word definitions and article excerpts.
A spread of the evolving section. On the left is the essay, where the body text and the footnotes are intertwined as two fluid dialogues; and on the right are images associated to the text.
La Chimera Scene Book
+ Oct-Dec 2025
This project revolved around translating one medium into another, where I took the movie ‘La Chimera’ and decided to translate it into a book. Considering the movement becoming still, I loved working around the shown scene and including additional information that would otherwise be hidden, learning about the Etruscans and diving into film technicalities. With two dialogues happening on each page, the book evolves with new information as the scene progresses, and the pace within the pages is chosen rather than decided for (like in the movie). The publication comes along with a cassette, which features the audio of the scene, once more playing into the different rhythms in which the movie scene can be experienced.
