Professor and Mentor for UX , and Graphic Design.

I conceptualized, designed, and created elegant and inspiring experiences, optimizing the user venture as a whole.

In this period of time, I worked remotely, translating concepts to interactive platforms, and performed punctual user testings.
I wrote and illustrated storyboards for interactions and experiences like the Frida Museum, Foro CitiBanamex, and another project that was an interactive playground for kids.

~ I love working with Cocolab, they were very nice to me, as I was coming back as a mom.

As an Interaction Designer in Cocolab, I translated concepts to interactive platforms.
Specialized in generating content for children's museums.
Wrote and illustrated storyboards for interactions and games.
Created functional prototypes to solve problems.
Ran user testings.
I also did project management and I present projects to clients.

CreativeMornings is the world’s largest face-to-face creative community. 
I organized free monthly events for the creative community in Mexico City.
Each gathering included a talk by an expert, free coffee and snacks, and time to connect with the community.

When the chapter was born, in  2014 I started as a volunteer staff. I was in charge of the registration and welcoming guests to the event.
Later, in 2015 I became the 'Breakfast Capitain' where I got us partnerships to get us coffee and snacks and venues for free.

And in 2017, I was invited to be the host, where I organized over 60 events.
I managed the volunteer team. I closed money sponsorships with EasyTaxi, Bumble, and Payoneer which helped us in the operation, and flew and host 5 of our volunteer members to the Creativemornings Summit in 2017 held in New York.

〰️ Being the leader of this community made me overcome stage fright, and master how to manage speakers, volunteers, and sponsors. Was a great experience, that I truly cherish.

Luidia created interactive solutions for education. 
I started as a graphic designer, where I crafted illustrations and graphics for their educational software.
Later, I was invited to join Luidia Labs, where I developed ideas and prototypes for new products.
I did research, user testing.
I did  video, animations and ilustrations for present Luidia's products.

〰️ Was an incredible opportunity. I lerned a lot, I perfected my english, and since I lived close to Stanford University, I took classes there! Was a dream! I enrolled to Continuing Studies in Design History, and acting.

Here, I created a series of graphics used for the Yoyo Open in NYC.
I also designed and animated the logo for Yoyo.tv, among other designs.

Conciencitas started as a brand of conceptual earrings (they seem like a little person sitting on your ear, whispering advice). But evolved to become also my design studio, where my illustrations and designs live. 
I work there as a freelance independent designer. I can help you to conceptualize, design your brand, or to illustrate whatever you need. 


So... back to the  Conciencitas (Little Conciences), these earings were at the NYC MoMA Design Store as part of the Destination Mexico Exhibit, back in 2012. They were super famous back in the early 2010s. They appeared in multiple publications, and even on national TV!

I worked at citricografico: A graphic design studio specialized in cultural content.
There I desgined graphic identities for festivals and brands.

One of the projects that I liked the most, was the image the Festival de México (FMX) 2010. I was very proud to see my design around the city!
