ABOUT
☞ English / Español
I’m Carlos Asencio, also known as Chensio, a multidisciplinary designer and artist based in Spain.
Always interested and attracted by the artistic and graphic aspects of the world since I was a child, I have been working for more than 12 years in the field of design and graphic communication in the advertising, packaging, press and fashion industries.
Currently I live and work on the sunny island of Mallorca, Spain and since 2011, I’ve been working at Camper as senior graphic designer for Retail and PR departments.
My work is primarly based on graphic design, corporate identities and logotypes and I also offer artistic and illustration services.
I also enjoy drawing fonts myself and play with the letter form creating experimental typefaces such as “Dragsta”.
Besides my focus on printed matter I’m always on creative exploration, I like to try new mediums and forms of expression so my style can range from bizarre and chaotic compositions to minimal and harmonic designs with a singular identity, experimenting with different techniques to create visually appealing concepts and products.

My goal is create functional design and inspiring graphic solutions across branding, print and digital designs, supporting people and brands bringing their ideas into life.
For further information, collaborations or if you have a project in mind, please get in touch. You can also find me on my social networks
In addition to art and design I am a technology enthusiast and I love taking juice out of today's technologies like Artificial Intelligence (take a look at my work with AI for Graphic Design applications or Story Creation), Machine Learning, Augmented Reality and I also enjoy coding and creative coding, in fact I made this website myself!
Music is my passion too, sometimes I play drums, guitar or bass guitar and I have collaborated with several artists.
Always attracted and influenced by the punk/metal music scene, urban culture, graffiti and the world of skateboarding. In 2022 I launched a series of handmade mini-skateboards decks (fingerboards) you can obtain here.
In my free time I like to read mostly sci-fi and fantasy books (check my book cover designs!) with some manga in between, and fill my sketchbooks with drawings.
