Joel Butler Fernández

Hello, I’m Joel Butler Fernández, a graphic and web designer, as well as a curator and researcher of Contemporary Art. An overall Creative problem solver with a solid background in cross-functional teams, visual communication, and consistency in brand and design languages. I have lead projects and teams with a design thinking methodology and a user-centered approach, keeping deadlines and budget constraints.

I have over twenty years of experience in graphic design, during which I’ve worked on projects such as the redesign of the brands and websites SuperCarros.com and SuperCasas.com. My work has also encompassed a variety of clients in the Dominican Republic, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States, tackling branding, communication, and web design projects.

In the last eight years, although I never stopped working with design, my primary focus was on cultural projects with institutions such as the Centro León in the Dominican Republic and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Spain, as well as independent projects for other institutions, cultural spaces, and independent artists.

Additionally, I’ve shared my experience as part of the faculty for the Diploma in Contemporary Art Management and Production at the Altos de Chavón Design School, and I’ve taught courses in art appreciation, creative thinking, and photography.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design from Universidad APEC in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, and I graduated from the Master’s program in Contemporary Art History and Visual Culture from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, in collaboration with Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid, Spain. Additionally, I have attended numerous other courses, workshops, and training programs in areas related to these two lines of work.

I currently live in Spain and continue to work in design, curatorship, and research. Since 2024 I have been part of the StellarWP team as Multimedia Designer.
