I’m Silvina Rodriguez, a Graphic Designer, Illustrator, and Art Director with 18+ years of experience across fashion, lifestyle, technology, publishing, and advertising. I’ve worked with both international and local brands, leading creative from concept through production—branding, editorial, packaging, retail, and digital—while paying close attention to color, composition, and detail to build distinct visual identities. I’m especially passionate about designing across mediums, from digital and printed materials to textiles, packaging, and product development. Alongside my illustration practice, I recently founded fifí, an independent silk twill scarf brand where I oversee everything from design and textile development to branding, e-commerce, and content strategy—turning a personal creative vision into small-scale, crafted products.
