Nobody is An Artist 
(2025)
“Nobody is an artist” is my graphic design final project, it’s a publication talking about design itself and some problematics I’ve thought about and lived throughout my studies. Expressed in a series of short essays regarding themes like ego, trends or precarity in the field.


Degree Show
(2025)
Collaborative design for the communication of EASDV’s Degree Show. A showcase featuring the final projects of graphic design students. 



Serenates
(2024)
This class project consisted of developing a graphic campaign for the local classical music festival Serenates. To represent the festival’s eclecticism, personality, and identity, I decided to use a seashell as a symbol, encapsulating concepts such as the sea, sound, and light, resulting in an almost pictorical or dreamlike appeal. The typography, handwritten, disrupts this almost angelic air and brings us back to the festival’s eclecticism.


Nancy&Lee Vinyl
(2024)
Personal project that consisted in redesigning the 1968 vinyl record Nancy & Lee, by their namesakes Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood, usign treated images from the “Some Velvet Morning” music video, song included in the album.

















Class Diary
(2024)
Small editorial work in the form of a calendar for the What If? class. It shows a regression in time, from the last to the first session of the course through posts collected from social media. This diary speaks on the influence of websites like Pinterest on our bias, taste, or aesthetics, since we constantly resort to these types of image banks without any filter. It also reflects on whether this affects us more positively or negatively in what we do, or if it simply depends on how we use them.


Pride and Resistance
(2024)
Proposal for the image of Valencia’s Pride celebration, organized by the Lambda association, this project is largely influenced by the punk design of LGBT groups like La Radical Gai. It also employs a distinctly 90s aesthetic in its mega-condensed typography. Iconic photographs from the group’s imagery are also used, such as the main poster, featuring a snapshot of the first Pride march in Spain, or Pepe Espaliú’s 1992 performance “Carrying” to raise awareness about AIDS.
