2. Hello.
Obviously, this
is a somewhat
unorthodox
portfolio. . .
My name is Tony Moxham.
I spent fifteen years designing and writing
for magazines, then moved to Mexico City to
work as a designer, journalist, store-owner,
and most recently as a ceramic artist.
This portfolio shows some of my design work—
both two and three dimensional—from the last
twenty years in New York and Mexico City.
3. Interview magazine / I worked at Interview from 1992 thru 2005,
working my way up from graphic design intern to art director.

6. DFC / The brainchild of myself
and Mauricio Paniagua, DFC is a
high-end Mexican design brand
specializing in the conceptual mar-
riage of Mexican iconography with
pop culture, sex, surrealism, and
art. Over the last 10 years we have
designed over 300 objects. I was
also responsible for all collateral
design. On the following pages are
some selected DFC designs and
associated collateral graphics.
7. DFC / Porcelain platter designs. From top: Mexican Icons, “Royals,” famous Chinese Americans, and NYC nightlife icons.
8. DFC / Assorted DFC ceramic designs,
including an Indiana Jones inspired
Mayan cheese platter with crystal knife
(above), and giant scorpion figurine
featured in The Wall Street Journal.
11. This page / poster
design for DFC’s Mexico
City store opening in
2011, utilizing a combin-
ation of retro Mexican
pop culture and actual
pre-hispanic artifacts.

Mexico City, 2011. Below: DFC billboard design, 2012.
16. Cerámica La Mejor / I created Cerámica La Mejor in 2013 with Mexican part-
ners as one of the country’s only ceramic studios dedicated to high end production
for artists and designers. I was responsible for all branding and collateral graphics.
17. MT / My newest design venture with Mauricio Paniagua, MT is a conceptual investigation of pre-hispanic design through
unique ceramic vessels. The name MT is both Mauricio and my initials, and a pun on the phrase “empty vessels.”
18. MT / One of our hand-pieced
funeral urns. The spikes repre-
sent the spikes of the ceiba tree,
which represents a sacred link
for the Mayan people between
spiritual levels.
