ABOUT / Isabel Bonilla
THE SHORT OF IT:
I can help you refine and create aesthetic concepts for brand
campaigns or editorial projects, coordinating photoshoot production,
art direction, styling and graphic design.
THE LONG OF IT:
As a senior Graphic Designer, I take the concepting and aesthetic
execution of editorial or commercial shootings. I am the eyes of the
brand/client across digital and print channels. According to each
project, I articulate the team’s vision to build realistic budgets and
timelines, I source garments, locations and props, I organize castings
and so on. In general, my role is to follow up the ideas from the
beginning to a final impeccable execution.
With more than a decade of experience, I find joy in helping brands
articulating their “mood”. I am passionate about bringing stories to
life through modern copy, graphic design and strategy.
When I am not “mood boarding” for a project, you can find me doing
Pilates to keep my body and mind always flexible!
