I design textile prints for independent clothing brands — positional graphics and seamless patterns built to go straight to production.
My background is unusual: before becoming a designer, I studied psychology. That training shaped how I think about visual work — I don't just make things that look good, I think about why certain forms, symbols, and compositions hold attention, and how to translate that into a print that works on a body, in motion, at a distance.
I ran my own clothing brand for years. That experience taught me what it actually costs when a file isn't right — reprints, delays, supplier friction, a design that made sense on screen and fell apart on fabric. So I learned to deliver files the way I would have wanted to receive them: technically precise, production-ready, with zero ambiguity.
In 2026, a positional illustration I designed won a public open call by Chicxs Indumentaria — a Buenos Aires indie brand. The piece went from concept to garment exactly as imagined. That's the standard I work to.
If you're building a brand with a strong visual identity and need a designer who understands both the aesthetic and the technical side of print — let's talk.
