Bio
I am originally from Argentina, and today I live in Seattle. My Passion for design has started at a young age, creating graphics and lettering for my mother’s business.
I have always been a curious person, always looking for new knowledge, as I set my first goal. I decided to go back to school in 2015 and pursue a career in design. And me being an unconventional student, I knew I had a challenge, but that didn’t stop me. I started taking classes at Bellevue College digital media Art, but this was not enough for me, so I finished my prerequisites and transferred to Seattle Pacific University.
I couldn’t be more content and happy with the things I have learned. I am who I want to be. My passion for learning and acquiring knowledge continues, as does my love for becoming an expert in my area of design.
My goal as a designer is that my designs have a purpose. I want to create a solution that works for people. After finishing my BA in Visual communication, my next goal is to focus my work on packaging, branding, and typography. This summer, I started my journey into typography design and produced my first specimen, which I called vacation.

Riko Chocolate
Chocolate Riko is a fictitious product that I create for one of my projects. The object was to design a package for a product of our choice. I decided that to work on creating a package for a chocolate bar. The idea comes because it is a product knows for many people of all ages. A chocolate bar is generally affordable for everyone. And it is sold around the world. Because a chocolate bar can be gifted to love ones or be part of celebrations, my idea was to design an elegant packaging for an organic product with outstanding quality.
International Graphic Design
International Graphic Design Magazine is a fictitious magazine.
The project directive was to create a cover and content for the international graphic design magazine.
My idea was to create content with the name and photo for each designer. Inspired by the Swiss designer, I used a limited color palette, red and black, with black and white photography.

International Graphic Design
Retro Renaissance is a print publication for the fictitious END Magazine – a graphic design trend magazine. I create a cover, contents, feature, and two jump spreads for the magazine. They were inspired by the way we recycle imagery and style in graphic design, but always with a new twist. This was one of my favorite projects because the illustrations and layout came together in a really fun way.
