Hola, hello and hej 👋
Embedded Files
I'm a creative manager in the digital design industry, a fast-paced environment mostly driven by technology. However, I actively seek to inspire individuals and organizations to slow down from the bombardment of information we’re targeted with, in order to create space for reflection and meaningful connection with others, to ignite curiosity and to foster empathy that transcends the boundaries of cultural and socioeconomic differences.
Having worked in the non-profit and private sector in Latin America, and consulting in fundraising, marketing, project design, and management in Europe, I bring a unique and inclusive perspective and experience.
I’m passionate about sustainability, the inclusion of minorities, and reaching equality for girls and women. I'm an autodidact who is also interested in the intersection of design and foresight to create sustainable systems for people to find new ways of belonging to our planet.Â

Background
Background
Until June 2024, I was the Program Manager & Head of LATAM at Design Matters. There, I designed, curated, and organized conferences about digital design in Latin America. I also wrote and edited an online magazine, created content for social media, and made sure to fund activities through PR and partnerships with like-minded organizations. All of this while keeping my drive for Diversity Equity and Inclusion intact.

Doing field work in Peru while working at CARE.org
At CARE, one of the largest humanitarian organizations fighting global poverty, I occupied the role of Fundraising & Communications Director in Peru, I was a member of the Executive Team, and of the Board of Directors in representation of the staff (elected by them). Â I led organizational change by merging the Communications and Fundraising areas, all while drafting and executing a new brand strategy targeting funding from the private sector (in addition to managing institutional funding), and coordinating our participation in multiple national and international projects, like Girl Rising (here's an article about it).Â
