What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment where creativity thrives and impactful designs are created.

I am a graphic designer with over 7 years of experience in creating and managing visual identities and brands. My collaborative and results-driven approach has allowed me to work with a variety of clients, always fostering a dynamic and efficient work environment. I excel in identifying and solving graphic challenges, supported by a strong background in editorial design, branding, and social media management.

My passion for user experience (UX/UI) has led me to specialize in this field, participating in digital projects from inception to final implementation. I focus on creating digital products that are not only functional but also have a significant impact on users. I am excited to bring my experience and graphic skills to teams that value creativity and collaborative work.
