About me, Pamela

Okay, so you’re here because you want to get to know me a little bit more, right? Less about design rules, colors, and all the reasons your website should be different  and more about who I am... 🌌

Hi, I'm Pamela

But around here, I go by P

WELCOME TO MY LITTLE CORNER OF THE INTERNET

I love that you made it to this page! I’m a creative who loves using the power of design to create a better-looking world. 

Design matters deeply to me, but it’s good design, the kind that shapes how we feel, how we understand things, and how a message is delivered, that fascinates me the most.

I studied graphic design at a university surrounded by mountains, where studying and running to the library were pretty much the main activities. College was a huge part of my life. It’s where I learned the tools I use today and earned my degree as a graphic designer.

This picture was literally the first vector illustration I ever traced. I also have to mention that Helga Pataki is a character I’ve always liked a lot, so I created my own version of her for a school project, which you can spot in the background.

The beggining: noticing things

Long before graphic design became my career, it was already part of who I was. As a kid, I was drawn to color, details, and the way things were presented. I noticed packaging and illustrations in books (they made a big impact on me). I organized things by color, by instinct. I drew, I collected tools that let me create. It wasn’t taught to me. It was instinct.

I grew up in a small town where language moved in two directions

I saw Spanish and English mix and play everywhere, on the streets, on TV, and on the radio, and it shaped the way I understand communication in a very specific way.

I learned to pay attention not just to what is said, but how it’s said, and how meaning can shift depending on context, tone, and culture.

Becoming a designer in a world transformed by technology and social media, and AI

I came of age as a designer while technology and social media were transforming the world. I didn’t just learn design. I lived through its evolution. That experience taught me to adapt, stay curious, and never rely on formulas. The work is alive. It changes. So do I.

Other fun facts about me :)
