How I can help

Selected work

Work experience

2026 · Freelance commission

Brand Identity & Content System - Talk 2B Heard

Brief Description

Turn borrowed views into an owned audience for a US sports commentary platform. 830 posts and 2,418 followers, but a disproportionate lack of engagement and viewer retention.

Process

Built a logo suite in three formats - emblem, icon and lettermark, each with a defined job - plus a thumbnail and subtitle standard across all video, and a voice framework of three headline patterns designed to make every post answerable. Shipped with usage rules for clear space and contrast so the system survives handoff.

Result

Delivered as a 16-page creative brief with the full asset suite in SVG and PNG, in black, yellow and reversed. Rollout pending - baseline recorded for review at 30, 60 and 90 days. See the work

About Me

I was raised across Mexico, the United States, and Sweden, which is most of the reason I read audiences and cultures the way I do. I'm passionate about sports, fashion, art of all sorts, and Greek yogurt. I believe the culmination of my passions led me towards my love of creative strategy, graphic design, and to storytelling that earns attention and nurtures bonds, rather than simply buying them. I enjoy the work of getting to know a brand and creating a whole world around it where people can interact with and get lost within. I believe that a brand is more than just a logo, and that it should be a living, breathing entity that evolves with its audience.
