Junior Pacheco is a graphic designer and artist-publisher whose practice explores labor, craft, and systems through print-based work. Working across Risograph, publication design, and hybrid analog/digital workflows, he creates projects shaped by constraint, iteration, and embodied production. His work is interested in how bodies, tools, materials, and systems interact to generate meaning over time.
OOO Press is an independent micro-publishing structure founded by Junior. Operating between print, craft, and experimental publishing, the press produces artist books, zines, and printed matter that explore labor, process, and material storytelling. Ultimately, OOO Press treats publishing as both a design practice and a physical act of making.
