UX/UI Design
These projects were part of a Ux/Ui Bootcamp, where I practice working with Figma, Design thinking, heuristics, and Agile/Scrum working structures.
Each project has a link to figma where you can see how everything works.

Case: Improving Pinterest
The prompt for this exercise was to improve a specific Task Flow for an excisting and well positioned app. I chose the task: “Go to your profile” inside the app Pinterest, as I figured it has an extra step that confused users. To show you what I did I’ll place video comparisons between how the app worked before, and my improvement proposal.
** I made this improvement suggestion in 2025 and the platform did exactly as suggested in early 2026, proving it’s effectiveness.
Case: Cupon App
The prompt for this exercise was to create an app for a specific user profile. This was a team project, between me and two other collaborators. The user persona we got was a "shopaholic," and we decided to help her with her finances, without modifying her habits, by providing her with a coupon app curated by influencers she can follow on the app.
Case: Time Managment App
This was an exercise meant to train my abilities, completing from start to end a product design project. I decided to play with the idea of an app that allows you to connect a schedule with the configuration to restring time on social media apps, so once you finish your tasks on social media, the app will scourge you to stop using your phone. This app is meant for uses who have to log online for work duties, while, at the same time, are looking for a digital detox.

Branding. English Academy
The following pieces were created under commission for an English academy. The project to release the branding, along with the launch of the courses, was paused due to unforeseen circumstances. All the designs were in the final stage of approval.
Social Media Posts Samples
Still images were meant to be Instagram posts, while the video shows different stories.
The content on the images was already established by the school, and it was a remake with a consistent visual brand, which was missing from the original posts.
Visual Brand for Social Media
Fonts for Michulada
Inspired by the traditional rim of certain drinks, I "decorated" the letters for this bar's identity. The owner is not interested in a concrete identity, for their own passion project, but it was a fun project to present.
I suggested the use of the "M" as a first logo for the independent business.
The proposed used of my chosen font combination: my variant on Acid bold, and Lato as a secondary typeface.
Audiovisual projects
All done independently, for short and long video formats. All scripts by me, collaborations are credited in each piece accordingly.
SELECTED WORK:
Short Film Project: Linea 7 (2024)
Amateur independent project.The story follows a girl stuck on a loop, the artwork to promote the film resembles that idea.Additionally, the promo posters are done by me.

Posters
I enjoy creating posters for events, films or whatever else I can, here are some samples:
Re-imagination of posters for music festivals
Original poster:
My variant:
For La Bestia 10th aniversary I decided to transform the beast that usually appears in all the reddit promos into the 10th sign, and as requested I left all the info around. I mixed the color pallet of the original poster and pink variant, publish by the official site.
Original poster:
My variant:
Here I chose a different approach were I just use a different pallet that resembled the first one but was gentle to the eyes, and adding some doodles to follow on the fun spirit of the event.
Movie Posters:
For “La Virgen de la Tosquera”, 2026
Inspired enterely on the short-story by Mariana Enriquez, where they find a red virgin, and balck dogs are key to the climax of the film.
For “Línea 7”, 2024
One of the poster I created for my independent film, where the protagonist is stuck on a loop.
