Workshop Instructor
Alicia marquez

Alicia Márquez is a letter artist who works with calligraphy and letter carving to explore expression in all its forms. She studied graphic design at the University of Buenos Aires, where she also taught typography, and later worked as an art director in agencies and design teams in Buenos Aires, Miami, and Chicago.

She’s been practicing calligraphy for more than 10 years and carving letters in stone for 8. Alicia describes herself as a curious observer and an eternal student. For her, the creative process matters more than
the final result, and she always welcomes different interpretations and honest feedback.

As a designer, she looks for clarity and simplicity. As an artist, she follows intuition. Those two sides of her meet in every project—and most of the time, they get along just fine.
