Overview
Hi! Please contact me and let's talk about your project, every project is different and it is always a big pleasure to approach it in a very unique way. I always start hearing from the client how the project should be addressed aesthetically and even if there is still no clarity on this I provide ideas and ways to pull the project forward. Once there is clarity at this stage may this be the layout or the cover design, I provide different approaches to refine them until the client is satisfied.
During my visual education in 2005, and due to good grades, I was invited to work with Design and Typography Master Luis Giraldo, who has won several awards in the annual book design competition "The Best Book Design from all over the World" held in Leipzig, Germany. Experiences like this allowed me to go deeper into how to find the perfect harmony of typographic composition, being able to work with very complex content and always giving a subtle and interesting way to present it.
Although I had so much exposure to the Editorial and Publishing world, in the last 10 years I have performed multiple projects in the areas of graphic design, visual identity, corporate design, iconography, photography, and videography among others. This has given me a solid understanding of visual communication, multidisciplinary processes, and clear objectives in order to always create a positive and engaging experience with the user. I am able to deal with every stage of a graphic project, from conception to conclusion, with the utmost attention to detail to fulfill or give shape to the idea that needs to be expressed. I am particularly fond of Photography and Mindfulness books but I am open to working on any type of editorial project.
I have special strengths in typography, layout and composition, book design, and illustration. I look forward to hearing from you.
