Textile & surface design
About Me
Hello! My name is Bárbara Mc Guire
I'm a fashion designer and visual artist based in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I studied Fashion and Textile Design at Universidad de Palermo, and spent several years working in the textile and fashion industry, developing prints and products for various brands before starting my own creative journey as an independent artist.
But my love for art began much earlier...
As a child, I was captivated by the feeling of new colored pencils, and I spent hours drawing in my notebooks.
I remember the textures of my favourite blanket, the dresses my mother made for me and my dolls, and the beautiful wallpapers in the rooms where I used to play.
Many years later, I discovered surface design, a magical blend of everything I’ve always loved: drawing, painting, and telling stories through patterns.
Over time, my work has taken me far from home. Traveling has been a key part of my path — it has expanded my vision, connected me with people and ideas from all over the world, and deeply enriched my creative process. Wherever I go, I collect colors, textures, and feelings that often find their way back into my illustrations.
Today, I believe textiles are like the skin we choose — not only for ourselves, but for our homes and surroundings. They shape our spaces and help us tell our story. I sketch with watercolors and markers, then bring those ideas to life through digital tools like Procreate, Illustrator, and Photoshop.
My style is modern and colorful , bold, yet soft and romantic. This space is where I share my creative voice, my process, and all the small lovely things that inspire me.
