Background

About Roberta Werthein

I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on November 3rd, 1994. Following my curiosity, I was encouraged to explore my abilities in different fields – from competitive sports to education and art-related practices. This allowed me a unique adaptability to excel in and combine different environments and faculties. In 2012 I graduated from the prestigious Saint Andrews Scotts School in Buenos Aires and was immediately recruited to play professional field hockey for the National Argentina Team. After three years of a successful career as a professional athlete, I decided to pursue my passion for Graphic Design at The University of Buenos Aires. I worked in two different design agencies throughout my carrier and ended up being the lead graphic designer at a well-known insurance company called Experta Seguros. In 2020, I decided to further my education by pursuing a Design and Urban Ecologies Master’s program at Parsons, The New School. My work and life are based on teamwork and a strong work ethic in many different arenas. I am grateful that my professional career thus far has allowed me to perform vastly different activities and studies while providing me with invaluable life and work experience. Currently, I dedicate all my skills to combining visual communication, design strategy, and urban planning, which feeds my fascination with community-based work, and environmental justice
