Illustration and Design
I build narratives by combining colorful illustrations with graphic and motion design. I develop custom made solutions for companies and publications that can adapt to both print and digital media in order to reach a wider audience.
Why tell a story?
Good stories create a sense of connection and allow us to be more receptive to information. Because telling a story is more engaging than simply presenting dry facts, the message is assimilated faster and retained longer in our memory.
MishiYaku
These illustrations were created to advertise the Ecuadorian/German coffee label Mishki Yaku.
The hummingbird, which inspired the company’s logo, is used throughout the images, to tell the story of the company:
- THE HUMMINGBIRD
In Latin-American indigenous folklore a hummingbird is associated as a messenger of pleasant thoughts. - THE MEANING OF MISHKI YAKU
MishkiYaku comes from the Ecuadorian Kichwa. It means “delicious water”. - ORIGINS OF THE COFFEE
The illustration shows the city of Quito, Ecuador and a “Pechinegro” hummingbird, considered a symbol of this city.
