Image direction and material experimentation, 2024
Plastic shopping bags were used as a site for visual research, shifting between physical and digital states through scanning, printing, and manipulation. By altering their texture, scale, and color, the work explores how reproduction transforms perception and challenges assumptions about permanence, value, and material presence.
Concept, editorial design and material experimentation, 2024
This project investigates how design can alter the pace of reading. Through distortion, layering, shorthand, multilingual fragments, and handwriting, the publication invites readers to actively uncover text rather than passively receive it. Each section functions as an experiment, proposing alternative ways of engaging with language and resisting immediacy.
Concept, visual system and publication design, 2024
This project explores what happens when words are misheard or partially understood. Beginning with a single original term, alternative versions emerge through repetition, distortion, and phonetic interpretation. Each transformation generates new typographic structures and abstract visual forms derived from sound.
The publication functions as both archive and experiment, revealing how meaning fractures, mutates, and reorganizes through perception.
The project involved concept development, spatial art direction, and production coordination, ensuring continuity between printed matter, digital presence, and physical activation.

visual identity, editorial design and image-making.

ACT 001 // to undress
Editorial direction & design — 2024–ongoing
GESTO is a research project in which each ACT centers on a single gesture, inviting contributors from different disciplines to explore a shared theme.
Functioning as a platform, GESTO brings together multiple perspectives through conversation, movement, and image, reflecting how meaning is never fixed.

Logo and brand identity designed during my internship at Evoli Studio, Mexico City.
2026
Logo design and brand identity for Espyral, a Mexican swimwear brand. The identity was developed around ideas of repetition, continuity and organic movement, creating a visual language that feels playful and natural.
Concept, process and documentation, 2023
Mapping becomes a way of translating movement into something physical. Through walking and collecting flowers along a specific route, each step turns into a reference point, a small record of a moment and place.
The final bouquet functions as a material trace of the journey, proposing an alternative way of recording movement through space.
Creative production (with Christie Bakker), 2024
Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam
Portals is an interactive exhibition exploring the preservation and display of born-digital archives. Through immersive audio, archival hardware, and research material, the project examines how digital files are conserved, interpreted, and prepared for the future.
As part of the creative production, I contributed to the translation of archival research into a spatial and experiential format, supporting the coordination and realization of the exhibition.
