Design Manager / Senior Graphic Designer
About

I'm a curious and good-humored person with a good soul, interesting thoughts and 20 years of recognized experience in communication, art direction, and project management. The universe of Communication and Art have been present in my life for over 22 years, providing me with professional and personal experiences in cities like Lima, Cusco, São Paulo, Bogotá, Fortaleza, Porto and Avignon. I have worked for Brands and Institutions often in the field of Arts, Fashion, Lifestyle, Gastronomy and Design. Whether it’s Graphic Design, Branding, Art direction, Editorial, Photography or Social Media, forming a unique artistic visual is what I look to. I believe the way we tell stories visually and verbally is what makes things remarkable. I have a keen eye at the world and at the newest trends. As a visionary designer, I strive to inspire with concept direction and imagery solutions through art direction, product development, and creative content strategy of the partners and companies I work with. Having these experiences throughout so many fields and places, has led me on achieving a global and integrated vision, a curious mind, a multicultural perspective, a mature attitude dealing with different people and a committed fast learning skills.

As a freelance graphic designer, I’m a visual storyteller, crafting compelling narratives through bold, strategic design.

With the flexibility to adapt to any brand’s unique voice, I thrive in creating fresh, innovative solutions—whether it's building a brand identity from scratch, designing eye-catching marketing assets, or enhancing digital experiences.
