Naturalized U.S. citizen, born in Brazil in a mixed Spanish-Hungarian family and raised in Spain. This weeks featured designer is as international as it gets, and one of the most well-known professionals in visual journalism, recognized multiple times with several SND and Malofiej Awards, among others.
Outside the newsroom, he’s a long distance runner, passionate about science and technology (especially aeronautics and robotics), an oil painter and urban sketcher. And it’s a huge pleasure to present him to our audience – although, most of our readers will probably be very well familiar with the work of Alberto Cuadra.
“A journalist by formation, my almost 20 years of career has been almost entirely linked to the newspaper business. It started in 1992 as a reporter for the Spanish daily El Mundo, where I wrote for different beats until 1996, when I made my first splash into the world of visualization as a staff infographics editor for the same publication.”
“In 1999 I crossed the Atlantic and became part of the team of visual reporters of the wire agency Reuters, in Miami. After five years in the Houston Chronicle graphics team, in 2010 I was finally hired at the Washington D.C. where I’ve been a Graphics Editor for the Washington Post.”
