A love for the creative world through design and audiovisuals has always been the driving force behind my career. When I think of graphic design, I’m reminded of influential movements such as the Bauhaus, the Swiss School, and institutions from the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. These approaches and ways of understanding design have deeply shaped how I work, especially during my time in Germany, which I consider one of the most enriching experiences of my career so far.

In September 2021, I arrived in Mannheim (Baden-Württemberg) to take part in an extraordinary Erasmus placement at Hochschule Mannheim. There, I not only broadened my knowledge but also had the opportunity to immerse myself in the German professional world, working as a graphic designer, UX/UI designer, and art director. This period connected me with key figures like Lucas Hesse and agencies such as Basics09 and Bureau Borsche, and helped me develop a more strategic and conceptual approach to design, particularly within branding.

Back home, I’ve continued to grow professionally through collaborations with agencies such as Firma and Morillas, and I’ve also expanded my experience as an artworker thanks to the pharmacy renovation company, Int-Nova. I’m especially interested in areas such as editorial design, typography, visual communication, design-led animation, and prototyping.

I consider myself a flexible, motivated, and responsible person with a consistently positive attitude. I adapt well to teamwork, am attentive to clients, and place great value on research and conceptual development as the foundation for any project: to me, design is 75% research and 25% execution.

I’d be delighted to have a chat if you’d like to know more about me and what I can bring to the table.
