Ry Faraola
Ry Faraola is a graphic designer, typographer and artist based in London whose practice interrogates the relationship between design, power, and class consciousness. Working across typography, graphic design, publishing, and participatory objects, Faraola uses humor and irony as critical tools to expose the contradictions embedded in contemporary design culture.
With an MA in Visual Communication from the Royal College of Art, a certificate in type design from Letterform Archive's Type West program, and dual bachelors degrees in Studio Art and Visual Cultures from University of California Santa Cruz, Faraola brings both theoretical depth and practical experience to projects that span commercial design, community organizing, museum commissions, and independent publishing.

IllustrationBrand identity, posters, and digital templates for the successful unionization campaign at Moe's Books, Berkeley. Commissioned by labor organizers with the Democratic Socialists of America, this project supported the launch and promotion of the union drive at the iconic independent bookstore.
The campaign centered on a risograph poster featuring custom typography and illustration, produced in large editions by employee organizers and distributed throughout the Bay Area. Supporting materials included social media assets and web banners designed as templates for ongoing campaign use. The visual approach balanced the grassroots energy of labor organizing with the radical literary culture of the iconic bookstore, creating materials that resonated with both workers and the broader Berkeley community.
