Color Café is a cuban clothing brand that underwent a subtle yet necessary redesign. While retaining their iconic symbol as the brand identifier, I refined its forms and corrected optical details. Additionally, I curated a tailored package including business cards, customer appreciation cards, a brand brochure, and a cohesive social media aesthetic.
This project involved meticulous adjustments to enhance the brand’s visual identity while maintaining its core essence. By refining the logo and selecting appropriate typography, we achieved a more polished and cohesive brand image. The accompanying collateral, such as business cards and brochures, was designed to reflect the brand’s personality and appeal to its target audience.

For the Gloria AI brand design project, I collaborated on developing its brand identity and application in digital environments. This SaaS, created by Webtronic Labs, acts as a chatbot or virtual assistant on websites, powered by artificial intelligence. My responsibilities included conceptualizing and designing visual elements, such as the logo and graphics, to reflect its advanced functionality. This work encompassed creating a cohesive image for its presence on the corporate website, sales presentations, animated ads, and social media. The aim was to effectively communicate the brand’s value proposition and its ability to enhance the online user experience, solidifying its position as an innovative and effective solution in the digital market.

The Galería L, associated with the University of Havana, has been a landmark in the visual arts since its foundation in 1968. Despite its significance, its connection with the student population has dwindled in recent years, necessitating a repositioning campaign to revitalize its presence within the university environment.
In collaboration with the University Extension Directorate (DEU), a visual identity system and launch campaign were developed for the Galería L. This initiative aims to highlight the gallery’s intrinsic values and promote its role as a cultural space both on and off campus.
Poor Julio is a project in which we explore the satire of the mirage effect surrounding iconic figures of popular culture. Taking Julio Iglesias as the protagonist, an emblematic figure of Spanish popular culture, we examine the duality between public perception and reality behind the scenes. The narrative of the biography is challenged through the intervention of artificial intelligence, aiming to reveal the hidden truth behind the media facade. Inspired by the tabloid press of the 70s and 80s, the project is presented as an ironic deconstruction of the artist’s public image.
I share the authorship of this project with Eva Rubio, Cecilia Cartaxo, and Sonia Alcaraz.

For the interior, a classic layout structure is used. The intention is to establish a contrast between what is narrated and what is intervened. The decisions made for this publication focus on intervening in a story that has been edited for many years. The intervention is the means used to show the truth or, in this case, the lie. In each chapter, real photographs accompany the story; the composition of these photographs becomes fragmented as the reading progresses, in the same way his public image was massified and gradually fragmented.
A binding was created that allows for a complete opening. This aspect’s main challenge was properly integrating the cover booklets with the main body, which was successfully achieved.
Continuing with the content intervention, the covers have been created using real photographs of the artist that were altered with artificial intelligence. This way, the reader will appreciate a conventional photo of Julio Iglesias with an unexpected and humorous result when browsing the covers. It also serves as a resource that immediately indicates to the reader that this is not a conventional biography.
Inserts have been added to the publication that follow the stylistic traits of tabloid magazines, in which the artist has often been featured due to numerous scandals. These inserts aim to contrast with the reading content, keeping the reality behind the scenes ever-present.
Gardener & Forest is a fanzine design project that emerged from a design workshop and was conceived as a personal endeavor. This publication pays tribute to a forgotten profession: that of gardeners. Inspired by the book Garden & Forest, which documents rare botanical specimens and gardening techniques, Gardener & Forest delves into the lives of these unsung heroes who share a unique bond with nature. Using documentary images and fragments of correspondence between them, this zine captures the essence of a profession in danger of extinction.
