I’m Clara, a graphic designer with a multidisciplinary background and a strong visual sensibility. My journey into design has been shaped by diverse and meaningful experiences: I started studying architecture, worked as a sales assistant and visual merchandiser, and collaborated with a handcrafted interior design studio. These roles taught me how to approach design methodically, organize space effectively, listen to people’s needs, and turn ideas into tangible solutions. At 35, after years of self-directed exploration, I chose to formalize my skills and study graphic design in a structured way. Today, I work across branding and logo design, motion graphics for social media, presentations, editorial design, and custom illustrations. I also have a solid foundation in typography and enjoy creating visual systems that work seamlessly across both print and digital platforms. My approach is hands-on, intuitive, and always evolving. I believe in learning by doing, staying in motion, and finding the right balance between logic and creativity, clarity and play.
