hello!
I’m Lucía, a multicultural, passionate and hard-working creative living in New York City. Over the last ten years, I have played many roles in the design world. This has made me develop into a bundle of creative enthusiasm. My current job encompasses everything from overseeing projects and product conceptualization to packaging design, production and the organization of sales materials. In a nutshell, I am a mash up of design, production, and magic—I’m actually part unicorn and a champion of resourcefulness.
Through my relentless curiosity and meticulousness, I am determined on uniting simplicity, form and function to create strong, lasting and remarkable design.
My focus is primarily in print, illustration and packaging which means I often buy items that are of no use to me but are packaged beautifully.
I split my time between designing cool packaging, and learning how to tattoo. When not working, I’m probably playing with my kiddo and pup, or thinking about food.
