My expertise includes editorial design, visual identities, typography, poster design, web design, and art direction, complemented by a deep passion for all things books.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Communication and a Certificate in Higher Education in Typographic Innovation from Centro de Diseño, Cine y Televisión in Mexico City. I also earned a Master’s degree in Editorial Design from Elisava School of Design and Engineering in Barcelona. I co-founded Ápice Estudio and co-led it from 2016 to 2021, where we collaborated closely with numerous cultural and governmental institutions, music festivals, publishers, small businesses, and more.
Since 2021, I have worked as a freelance designer, adopting an interdisciplinary and international approach to projects with publishers, NGOs, cultural institutions, artists, photographers, architects, music producers, and cultural festivals worldwide. Since 2023, I have been part of the team behind Miss Read, Europe’s largest art book fair.
Beyond design, I love climbing (both bouldering and sport climbing), reading across genres (e.g. decolonial thinking, memoir, feminist theory, literary fiction), immersing myself in art exhibitions and museums, learning languages (currently working toward my German B2 certification), practicing yoga, and cooking.
