DEVELOPMENTAL EDITING & MANUSCRIPT ASSESSMENT
Self-directed case study on my unpublished Patagonian noir novel, La segunda muerte de Lali Morano. I assessed the full manuscript for structure, voice, pacing, character, thematic coherence, and factual exposure.
The editorial decision: preserve the plot architecture and Bruno Reinhardt’s fallibility; tighten repeated comparisons and explanations after scenes; then fact-check legal procedure, chronology, and Río Gallegos details. A structural rewrite would weaken the manuscript’s central move from “Where is Lali?” to “Who gets to define her?”
This demonstrates my editorial method. It is my own writing project, not a client commission or a publication claim.

FORMA | Creative Studio Website Design
A bold, cinematic website concept for a modern creative production studio.
FORMA is a concept website that shows how strategy, design, and digital production come together in one immersive brand experience. The design is built on three things:
Editorial layouts that give the content room to breathe and set a confident, magazine-style rhythm
Cinematic red-lit photography that gives the brand a dramatic, memorable visual identity
Expressive typography that carries the studio’s voice and guides the eye through each section
The goal was a site that feels like the studio’s work: striking, intentional, and made to leave an impression.
My role: UI/UX Design, Visual Direction, Landing Page Design
Tools: [Figma / Photoshop / etc.]

Cool direction for the studio.
TITLE: Where silence learns to speak
CATEGORY: creative writing
DESCRIPTION: An original poetry piece exploring silence, unspoken emotions and the beauty of finding expressions through words. Written with imagery, emotional depth and thoughtful story telling.
SAMPLE WORK:
Where silence learns to speak,
silence once lived beneath her skin,
where unspoken words grew rots within,
she wore her storms behind quiet eyes,
and tucked her truth beneath the skies.
Until one day the stillness broke,
and trembling lips founds words to speak.
For even the quiet hearts can bloom,
and even silence can make a room.
for stories waiting to be heard.
sometimes, healing begins
with a single word.
by Nazifah's_Pen.
“Where silence learns to speak” is a title doing the heavy lifting before the poem even starts.
When you write up a project, include one decision that took some thought.
What did you have to work around? What did you choose? What changed because of that choice?
A screenshot shows the result. Those few sentences help another person understand your judgment—and may give them something they can use in their own work.
The decisions are the interesting part.
