Graphic Designer & Artist-Publisher
Junior Pacheco is a Chicago-based graphic designer and artist-publisher. His practice is built around systems thinking and embodied making — concerned with how visual languages hold together across formats and surfaces, and with the decisions that accumulate through production itself.
He is the founder of OOO Press, an independent micro-press based in Chicago. Since 2023, OOO Press has produced artist books and printed matter exhibited and collected across Chicago — including the Newberry Library, the Chicago Printer's Guild Archive at Harold Washington Library, and Spudnik Press.
