As a passionate graphic designer, my strength lies in constantly overcoming challenges and keeping up to date with the latest market trends.

I value the application of semiotics and design thinking in the field of graphic design. Semiotics plays a crucial role in deepening our understanding of how symbols, colours and visual elements are interpreted by the observer, allowing for more precise and effective communication.
By adopting the design thinking methodology, which puts the user at the centre of the creative process, we are able to develop design solutions that appeal to everyone, meeting the needs and expectations of the public.
This powerful combination not only enriches the visual aspect of graphic design, but also drives communication in a more effective and impactful way, transforming design into a valuable tool for expression and connection with the target audience.

With two decades of experience and my creativity, dedication, commitment and professionalism as pillars, I am determined to make a lasting impact and continue to leave my mark on the graphic design industry.
