Hola, I’m Yocelyn Riojas—an illustrator, visual designer, and artivist born in Mexico and raised in Eagle Pass, Texas. I’m currently back in my hometown, reconnecting with the stories and culture of the borderlands.
I use illustration, design, and visual art as tools to amplify social movements and work toward our collective liberation, advocating environmental justice, racial equality, women’s rights, immigration, and more.
With a Master of Fine Arts in Communication Design, I am dedicated to activating and educating communities to empower themselves. My work focuses on building connections, fostering social impact, and designing the world I want to see.
My art and design have been featured in exhibitions, protests, and major media outlets across the country as I continue to advocate for disenfranchised communities and amplify their voices through creative expression.
