What I do

I am a designer focused on brand identity, type design, editorial and interaction design.

I am excited by the evolution of new digital landscapes—how they’re informed by the large print tradition, and vice versa, how print environments are affected by the digital progression.

Who I am

Born in Bogotá, Colombia, I was raised near Lucca, Italy. When I was 16 my family relocated to the United States. I lived in Miami and later moved to NYC to pursue a Philosophy degree at New York University (B.A., 2012).

In 2013, I moved back to Italy (Milan) to pursue a double Master’s in Visual and Web design from the Scuola Politecnica di Design (SPD). After graduating, I worked for Italy’s largest financial newspaper, Il Sole 24 Ore, on several projects both print and digital.

In December 2014, I moved back to what has now become my home: Brooklyn. Prior to joining Pentagram in 2015, I worked with organizations like IL Magazine, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the World Bank, faculty at Harvard Medical School, as well as branding a new film festival in NY, called As iFF.

I joined Luke Hayman’s team at Pentagram in 2015 as a designer and in early 2018 became an Associate Partner.

In March of 2019, I’ve had the honor to open and head the first New York office for DesignStudio as a Creative Director, alongside the Principal, James Hurst.
