I’m Beatriz, graphic designer, and visual artist born in San José, Costa Rica. I’ve always enjoyed solving problems from a unique perspective, seeking unexpected paths. Whether through art or design, I thrive on communication, as it forms the foundation of my work. Over the past five years I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with a wide range of clients and projects. My experience includes working with advertising brands, creating playful and colorful designs for children’s brands, and developing formal visuals for medical companies, including anatomical illustrations. I have also taken on art direction for advertising photoshoots, illustrated concert posters, editorial articles, and even a complete children’s book. Beyond client work, I’ve invigilated at the Venice Architectural Biennale and painted a personal art collection to further explore my creative voice.
