About

✕

I'm a designer from Mexico City based in Brooklyn.  I have worked mostly in the tech and cultural fields  and enjoy doing concept-driven brand, product  and editorial design.  I am currently a Designer at the Google Creative Lab, and open for new projects and collaborations.

I also run a small publishing company called Romário  en Febrero and sometimes teach Visual Language at the MFA in Communications Design at Pratt Institute.

Under Mexican naming conventions, both Lili and Santamaría function as last names. If, for some reason, you need to place my name in a list, the correct alphabetical filing is under L: Lili Santamaría, Tania.
