Hi, I’m Fernanda Martínez Ruiz, a Mexico-born designer and illustrator based in Milan, currently studying at Domus Academy. My practice bridges craft, storytelling, and visual culture, blending product and branding with a clean, conceptual aesthetic. I visit Mexico City biannually and draw inspiration from cultural exchanges. I love projects that merge cultural identity with design clarity, spanning packaging, spatial concepts, and visual narratives, from branding systems to immersive experiences.
