    uniE613 Artistic Value on the Tattooing Process - Exposition
    Today, tattoos are widely accessible and often regarded as mass-produced fashion accessories. However, there is a wealth of art and history in the process that deserves recognition. This exhibition aims to highlight the importance of creating unique pieces and the artistic value of tattoos.
    uniE613 "Todos Juntos" - Book design and Illustration
    "Todos Juntos" is a children’s book about inclusion. As the illustrator and designer of this project, my goal was to create a book that would be accessible and inclusive to as many people as possible. I used easy-to-read imagery, a reduced color palette, and clear, simple text to ensure it was engaging and comprehensible for all readers.
