about me
With a BFA in Visual Communication Design and over 3 years of experience, I’ve worked for both creative agencies and in-house teams, as well as collaborated with small businesses, freelancers, and nonprofits to create branding that is intentional, fun, and memorable. My creative process is deeply rooted in my love for nature, craftiness, and emotional connection.
Originally from Argentina, I traveled around the world and set roots in the U.S. I work remotely, which allows me to explore the outdoors, create new experiences, and continue to immerse myself in different cultures. When I’m not designing, you’ll often find me climbing, baking something from scratch, or diving into creative challenges of all kinds. I thrive on collaborating with like-minded people who are curious, inclusive, and passionate about what they do.
Currently: getting to learn some cool figma animation tricks, baking apple crumble cake, learning how to top rope and preparing for a 10k (!!!)
Looking ahead: I just moved to Portland, OR, drawn by its beauty and creative spirit. My goal is to find a full-time Visual Designer role* (either in Oregon or remote) where I can continue to grow, be challenged, and stay inspired.
