"Allen’s Cruz is an independent designer based in Tio’tia:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal. His design practice, with an emphasis on typography, includes works in print, publishing, and digital design within the arts and culture disciplines.

His hybrid Dominican-Canadian identity informs his constantly evolving approach to social and cultural realities. Cruz earned a BA in Fine Arts with a major in Design from Concordia University. Cruz is the co-founder of TheyType and also works as a lead designer at OTAMI-. Allen’s art practice focused on evolving visual languages within systems—encoded, fragmented, and paradoxical—utilizing iconography, experimental typography, sculpture, and printed arts."
