Daniel Delgado (1990, El Paso, Texas) is an illustrator and designer whose work reflects a disciplined, contemporary approach rooted in American border culture and modern visual folklore. His practice bridges character-driven imagery, graphic symbolism, and a pared-down narrative sensibility, resulting in compositions that balance precision with a handcrafted edge. Delgado works across print, digital, and brand-focused applications, developing visual systems that are direct, intentional, and quietly expressive. His portfolio brings together personal explorations and commissioned projects, unified by a consistent interest in iconography, form, and the subtle tension between tradition and modernity.
