This translation has been produced automatically and may contain errors and inaccuracies. If you notice anything, please let us know.

She is a Mexican, industrial designer, visual artist, and migrant.
She lived in Mexico City until she decided to move to Dresden, which changed the course of her life.
In a 23-kilogram suitcase, she kept what helped her start a new story.
As a designer, she is a multidisciplinary person. Professionally, she worked in advertising for several years, but had no passion in this field. Later, she worked as a props designer for stop-motion animation films and in the design and production of vinyl toys.

When she changed her place of residence, she also changed her perspective on the materials she worked with and started working with paper, which was the only thing she had available at the time, hence her interest in continuing to work with such a flexible material.

Currently, she has a project called Fantastisch, where she designs characters, short or unique series of digital illustrations, masks, and figures on paper. She also conducts workshops for children and adults.

She had the opportunity to appear in publications and present her work in Mexico, the United States, and Germany in both solo and group formats.
