A graduate of CENTRO in Visual Communication,
something you should know about Gala is her
constant curiosity, which is why her work moves
between web design (UX/UI), editorial design,
and illustration.

Her work is based on a knack for asking 
uncomfortable questions and learning from others
that tought her that good design has a great 
impact.

Her interdisciplinary training encompasses
service design, knowledge translation, community
engagement, visual communication, participatory
research, and social sciences, which underpins
a practice that is as strategic as it is
creative.

PROJECTS







1. Trazos a contramano - Gesturaaa
Taking a curious look at epistemic injustices, 
we analyze how bodily exclusion directly
impacts the way certain knowledge is legitimized,
beyond the hand used to write. This research
reveals that non-normative bodies challenge
structures that have historically rendered other
forms of learning, teaching, and knowledge
invisible.



2. menstruando en sequía
Four out of 10 women in Mexico City experience 
period poverty.

Water shortages in Mexico City are becoming
a health crisis that disproportionately affects
menstruating people.



3. De ak(al)i a allá
After the floods in Mexico City, what were once
lakes are demanding their freedom. What would
happen if they were uncovered?

From ak(al)i to alla is a journey aboard the
currents of a "new" city.



4. Las milpas también son altares,
La milpa, la escuela

“Entender los campos de cultivo no desde una masa homogénea sino como un conjunto de seres donde cada mata es un individuo que hay que cuidar”

- Mauricio Estrada, 2024



5. Amuleto geométrico: Una noche de dibujo
a oscuras

You need more than your body to be able to draw,
to be present. Only then could we invoke Myra
Landau at the close of the MUAC.






6. Tokyo
This editorial design project brings together 
a series of manipulated photographs taken during 
an immersive trip through Japan. Through visual 
experimentation and image manipulation, that 
reinterprets the landscapes, culture, and moments
experienced during that personal journey.




7. BLOL
The project was inspired by the dance of the 
bees, a unique form of communication that 
reflects collective intelligence and the 
connection between living beings. 

This idea was the starting point for creating an 
authentic identity that, in addition to 
highlighting Oaxaca's biodiversity and cultural
richness, honors the product's origin and 
tradition.
