Carlos Alejandro López Magaña
Available to hire
I’m a graphic designer and animator with more than 10 years of experience working both freelance and in agencies. I focus on developing an authentic, distinctive style while maintaining the effectiveness of communication through narrative, creative, and detail-oriented imagery.
I’m passionate, thoughtful, and soft-spoken, with a natural tendency toward patience and understanding. I enjoy organizing workshops, courses, and projects, which have required not only administrative skills but also leadership and scheduling for production.
