My work focuses on developing visual solutions that are not only aesthetically appealing, but also generate a significant impact on the communities with which I collaborate. I trained as a graphic designer at the University of Bogotá Jorge Tadeo Lozano, specializing in social design, editorial graphics and product development. With more than four years of experience, I have led projects ranging from participatory branding to the creation of educational materials. My focus is to innovate and use design as a tool to communicate ideas, inspire change and connect people with relevant causes.

At Movilizatorio, my role as a social designer allows me to propose creative solutions that are functional and visually impactful. I am passionate about the co-creation process, where I interact with diverse people, obtain valuable information and design in a collaborative environment. I am convinced that design can continue to generate long-term positive impacts on communities. I have co-created the creation of products such as the “Internauta” toolkit and “Cartas que Acercan,” an Anthem Award-winning project with KAS and NED. I have implemented innovative participatory design methodologies for the creation of branding for organizations such as Turning Tides and TINTA, seeking to co-create visual identities that reflect their values.

I am also passionate about fashion as a means to tell stories and connect people with relevant causes. Since 2020, I develop the visual strategy for a contemporary fashion brand that focuses on the timelessness and distinction of its pieces, integrating quality craftsmanship and design innovation to create products that transcend trends.

I invite you to use design as a tool for positive impact – together we can make a difference!
