VISUAL OVERLOAD!
Margo Dela Cruz is a Filipino-American designer and illustrator based in New York City and New Jersey. She is pursuing a BFA in Design (Class of 2026) at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, NY.
Influenced by hardcore punk records and underground city night life, Margo's work revives old-school subculture in a fresh, exciting light. She has a strong background in digital/traditional illustration and graphic design, and branched out to zine/book making, inspired by punk fanzines of the 80s-90s, and risograph printing.
She also dabbles in photography, filming, and video editing by bringing her camera to shows and capturing the intensity of the moment. With these skills, she has made everything from animated films, posters, zines, and music videos, and her goal is to work with bands/music artists.
She currently interns for House of Feelings, a record label and artist management company based in NYC who work with groundbreaking artists such as Le Bang, 95 Bulls, Heet Deth, and Shallowhalo.
In her spare time, she's playing the guitar, collecting zines, or in the mosh pit of a punk show.
