Beatriz Lozano is a designer, artist, and educator based in Brooklyn, NY. Her practice investigates how typography, technology, and materiality can bridge physical and digital media to foster curiosity and address current social issues. Originally studying mechanical engineering, she shifted to visual arts after her involvement in immigrant rights activism exposed her to the power of visual communication. This experience has defined her practice, recontextualizing her understanding of design as a tool for social meaning and reflection.

Her current artistic focus is exploring what a sculpture can be without the limitations of the physical world. Often merging creative coding and augmented reality (AR) with existing physical objects, creating kinetic AR sculptures that play with scale and interactivity. Beatriz leads a collaborative design practice, Ancho, where she builds versatile brand systems, visual identities, and campaigns through a collaborative model that prioritizes mentorship and often brings in specialized partners to create high-quality work, viewing clients as true partners with a shared goal. This practice has earned her the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award and recognition from the ADC and TDC.

As an Adjunct Faculty member at The New School, Parsons School of Design, Beatriz currently teaches Senior Thesis and Motion Narratives and has previously taught courses including Interaction Lab, Interaction Studio, and 3D/AR design. Her efforts also include developing and leading design workshops in cities across the United States and Mexico.
