What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a design role focused on editorial/book or educational projects where I can apply typographic skill, collaboration, and end-to-end production experience in a creative, structured team.

I am an editorial and graphic designer with extensive remote and in-house experience designing book covers, interiors, and educational materials using Adobe Creative Suite. I have delivered design solutions for 50+ books and produced children’s book illustrations and inventive typographic treatments.

I collaborate closely with editors, illustrators, project managers, and educators to create print-ready files, interactive PDFs, and responsive digital assets, while managing workflows in tools like Jira. I also bring experience maintaining websites with HTML/CSS and producing multimedia content such as videos and animations for augmented reality apps.

I am organized, bilingual (Spanish native, English C1), and skilled at translating stakeholder needs into polished deliverables; I enjoy roles where I can combine editorial rigor, creative problem solving, and cross-functional collaboration to produce compelling reading experiences.
