Personal Reminder - A Study on the language of identity
A project that questions the conventional function of the business card. Instead of presenting a clear, legible, and contactable identity, this object chooses to suspend the language of personal branding. The name is there, but barely readable. There is no logo, no title, no contact information. The card becomes a minimal, non functional sign, one that neither confirms nor represents. It’s a gesture of interruption. A way to step back, temporarily, from the logic of visibility, consistency, and legibility that often defines personal and professional identity.

Visual Identity for REV - REV - Ruta Electrónica Visual
Full visual identity and graphic system for REV, a cultural event that reactivates the spirit and legacy of La Ruta del Bakalao. The design takes cues from the original graphic codes of the movement, raw energy, bold typography and visual experimentation, and translates them into a contemporary system. Modular logotypes, custom type design and vibrant, glitch, based color schemes build a language that’s both referential and forward looking. The identity was applied across posters, editorial materials, merchandise and digital formats. The project also included art direction, print production and photography guidelines. Not a nostalgic homage, but a reappropriation of a forgotten visual culture to connect past and present through design.

Creative Direction - VENTIQUATTRO - Editoriale Indipendente Italiano
Concept and full editorial production for 24, a visual manifesto in black and white. A raw, high -- contrast aesthetic where the absence of color becomes expressive language. Typography and layout built to intensify the tension between image and text. Content curated around underground Italy: street stories, photography, lived experience. Handcrafted, narrative, led publication revealing reality in its most direct form.

Art direction for Reina Sofia exhibition - Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia
Visual proposal for “The Cut Outs”, a project inspired by the work of Henri Matisse, developed for Museo Reina Sofía with IED Madrid. Explores the transition from early works to his cut out phase, imagining how his shapes and colors could be reinterpreted to create new urban forms and spatial compositions. An exercise in transforming art into environment, where the brush becomes a tool for the city.

Graphic System for Matadero Madrid - Centro de creación contemporánea
Project developed for Matadero Madrid under the guidance of Koln Studio. Created in collaboration with a team, following a spatial and conceptual analysis of Matadero and its initiatives. The proposal imagined a new Nave dedicated to Ecoart, a space to host artists and support environmental creativity through a unique and purpose, driven experience.

Art Direction - Nwc.lab capsule drop
Latest drop for nwc.lab. A t-shirt designed as a tribute to the city of A Coruña, which welcomed me during a formative chapter of life. From graphics and production to supplier coordination and shooting direction, the process was fully handled in house. For more visit the nwc.lab Instagram page.

Visual Identity for Icono Studios - CoWorking creativo
Creative direction for Icono Studios, a co-working space based in A Coruña. A project where art and fashion act as tools for expression, identity and shared experience. More than a workspace, a creative community rooted in the street, celebrating collaboration and everyday visual culture.
