Young me thought in making a career in advertising to change the world by creating more appealing political campaigns for «the right ones» in Colombia.
As my studies moved forward, I fell in love with graphic communication. So start Graphic Design at the same time.
New surprises were awaiting in this new episode. The politics stopped being a priority in my professional development; the magic of illustration and the structural relevance of branding made me change my path.
When I graduated, I found out that my target group should be small businesses, knowing the importance of identity. As a freelancer and later on with my company Famolenca Graphic Society, I will make significant changes for different brands on a decent budget.
FUN FACT: I’m also a dog trainer
