Hi! I’m a graphic designer currently based in Rotterdam. I am very interested in working through different methods and mediums, and I love trying out new ones as part of my creative process in order to create surprising outcomes.

My approach is focused around cultural and commercial topics through a critical and research-oriented lens. My main areas of focus include editorial design, motion design, creative coding, web design, and art direction. I'm passionate about exploring the intersection of design and technology, and I strive to create visually compelling and conceptually engaging work.

FROM SOUND TO NOISE Publication

“How can I materialise and visualize dementia through a publication?” was one of the starting points for this experimental publication.

The ephemeral story of “From Sound to Noise” unfolds as a result of the user dragging down the suspended scroll-like cling film print, where the user has to sacrifice the legibility of the previously read text as it starts piling on the floor, sticking to eachother and deforming as a result of the fragile material. This is made in order to reflect the process of forgetting.

LOADING... Or Exercises in Slow Design

Rooted in the ethos of slow design, "Loading" showcases a diptych of digital interfaces. Inspired by the patience and craftsmanship embodied in cork harvesting, the project challenges the rush of modern design. The two exercises aim to, through different methods, integrate fast technology to craft a slow design environment.

The project consists of the following exercises: “Grow Your Own Letter”, where the spectator is invited to digitally submit a word or letter and watch it grow slowly out of organic lines, and “Watch it All” contemplates the privilege of knowing all information at once by slowly revealing text in a LED-like fashion.

MENFLACO In Absentia

Menflaco was born out of an urge to bridge my gap with my Spanish roots having lived in the Netherlands for a large part of my life. The project functions as an archival practice by aiming to capture a part of some of the Spanish culture I have missed out on these years.

Centered around deaf Spanish flamenco dancer La Singla’s performance in 1965, the publication serves as an attempt to translate and capture these intricate and emotive movements and relate them to my own experience as an outsider to what feels rightfully mine.

DIGITAL SCARS Exhibition

A collaborative exhibition along with Sascha Vreekamp, Lara Sari and Zuzanna Krzos exploring the effect of transitions from digital to physical to the human body. For the project I did the interactive sound design (something I had never worked with before) and the generated visuals, trying to incorporate new technologies such as StableDiffusion and the audio program SampleBrain.
The visual language, "bugs" crawling under ones skin, was generated in TouchDesigner.

REMEMBERING 2023 Exhibition

What are the inherent values of objects? How do these get determined and influenced?

Exhibition and poster design for the project “Remembering 2023”, a collaborative effort with Penelope Wood, Simona Krivorukova, Anne-Florance Deul, Samera Yosef, Viliam Mrázik and René Schneider. Resulting from a visit to a recycling facility in Rotterdam, Remembering 2023 aims to examine the curious relation between human and object, and the value instilled on an object through the mere passage of time. The exhibition consists of multiple objects found at the facility and fossilized in several aspects, a kind of retrospect from the future into our current times through the lens of these objects.
