Hola, I'm Michi!
I’m a Guatemalan graphic designer and illustrator based in France, working across illustration, visual storytelling and graphic design.
My practice often starts with an idea or a story and explores the best way to bring it to life visually. I work across storyboards for animation, comics, character design, infographics, campaigns and digital illustration, creating visuals that can live within brands, products, social media, UI/UX and physical applications.
Illustration is at the core of my work, but I’m especially interested in what happens when it becomes part of something bigger, a visual identity, an interface, a campaign, or a narrative. I enjoy translating complex ideas into images that feel clear, expressive and human, using character, color, composition and small details to build personality and connection.
My work is shaped by my own culture and experiences, as well as by subjects I care about such as migration, identity, feminism and environmental issues. Over the years, I’ve collaborated with feminist, queer, environmental organizations and collectives. I’m drawn to experimentation and to mixing digital tools with the texture and imperfection of analog processes, always looking for new ways to make an idea feel more human.
Lover of black coffee and traveling. ☕
