Hi, I’m Aileen! I’m a graphic designer whose interests are in branding, social media, packaging, and illustration. I strive to develop designs that speak more than words. Fascinated with the use of vibrant color systems, every system doesn’t work towards that way. Let’s dissect and start from the beginning. Outside of design, I enjoy crocheting, spending time with family and friends, and going outside.

Pinole Project

I decided to rebrand The Pinole Project which is a Mexican American Food Company that was inspired by the Tarahumara, an indigenous group, of Nothern Mexico. Known for their long-distance abilities, the Tarahumara eat pinole, an Aztec superfood with many benefits, to fuel their runs. I wanted to show more representation on Latin American brands and steer away from Americanized, marketed branding. I researched the indigenous group and the history of Aztec superfoods; I branded this project to educate consumers on the indigenous corn and its lively color palette to make the pinole powder.

Life Tunes

Life Tunes is an interactive map that takes visitors on a nostalgic musical journey through my life from 2015 to 2022. Through curated Spotify playlists and an interactive map interface, users can explore and "re-listen" to the songs associated with significant memories and events from each year. The map aims to evoke nostalgia, showcase personal growth, and create an engaging and immersive experience that celebrates the power of music to capture moments in life.

¿Hay Más? Bi-Lingual Cookbook

¿Hay Más? a bilingual cookbook celebrating underrepresented dishes from Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, and Peru. It serves as a symbol of cultural representation, promoting diversity and culinary exploration. Inspired by the Latin community at Drexel University and a cousin's dream of opening a bakery, this project aims to inspire and empower while fostering cultural exchange and understanding through authentic recipes, personal stories, and vibrant visuals.
