Speaker Yomar Augusto

Yomar is a Brazilian–American hybrid creative, designer, and artist. He was initially trained as a graphic designer before going on to study photography at the SVA in New York in 2001. He established his own studio in Rio before completing a Masters in Type Design at the renowned Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, The Netherlands, where he lived and worked for almost nine years. In 2012, he relocated his studio to New York, where he worked independently for three years. In 2016, he (maybe) settled down in Southern California, where he has been trying to avoid being called “the worst Brazilian surfer” ever and continuing to run his creative studio. Yomar had the opportunity to teach in more than 10 different countries, from workshops to assistant and guest professor positions.
