The New York Times has hired Pablo Robles to be a visual journalist in Soeul, South Korea.

He will start next week.

He is also a strong illustrator and print graphics designer, as seen in his previous work for The South China Morning Post and La Nación, in Costa Rica.

He was also able to work on one of the first global graphic coverages related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

His work has been recognized with more than 120 different awards including Malofiej, SND, Sigma, Webby Awards and Information is Beautiful Awards.
