who am I?


I am Brenda Ortiz, a Mexican graphic designer and photographer.

My passion for design is fueled by the joy it brings to my life and others. I'm constantly learning and striving to improve and I'm always on the hunt for new challenges that can help me grow.

I love the way design can change the way we interact with the world, making it better, easier and more pleasing. I'm passionate about design in general and I'm always excited to explore new ways of creating. I am endlessly curious who loves exploring the world.

I am thrilled to collaborate with you. Feel free to reach out and say hello!

Life through my lens.

Education

  • In December of 2020 (covid times) I graduated from the bachelor of multimedia design and digital art in Universidad del Valle de México where I learned about graphic design, motion graphics, web design, video production, branding and many other more.

  • On August of 2018 I left Mexico 6 months to study an exchange program of graphic design in the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan, Italy. It was such an enriching experience to have the opportunity to study and learn in a very multicultural and diverse place. I loved to be surrounded by different ways of design thinking and learn from each one of them. Some of the classes I did included packaging, illustration, editorial design and branding.

Experience

  • Back in 2019, I had the privilege of interning at KidZania Mexico during my bachelor's program. My role was a blend of creativity and collaboration in the marketing team. I crafted engaging social media content, designed eye-catching mailings, and even contributed to the KidZania newspaper. I also dabbled in simple yet exciting motion graphics for park screens. This experience fueled my passion for content creation and design, shaping me into the professional I am today. Grateful for the lessons and memories and all the great people I got to worked with.

  • I worked in a production house, operating printing machines and creating large-format photographs. I also designed fictional labels and props for screens, bringing them to life in various projects. Additionally, I managed their social media presence by creating content and engaging with the audience. Overall, my experience at Dezignios was fulfilling, combining my technical skills with creativity and promoting their work through digital platforms.

  • As an Art Jr at Primacy Mexico, I got to wear many creative hats! I focused on crafting eye-catching Google Ads that boosted website visits for our clients. Beyond that, I worked on cool projects like designing catalogues, brochures, and flyers. I also had a good time creating visual content for social media and chipping in on exciting branding ventures. It was an amazing experience where I got to blend creativity with strategy in a supportive team.

  • I held the position of Integrated Designer at Oliver +, where I collaborated with Adidas. In my role, I specialized in crafting both digital and print design adaptations, all of which align seamlessly with diverse campaign brand guidelines. My responsibilities encompassed curating captivating content tailored for an array of platforms including social media, apps, and the web. Additionally, I had the privilege of contributing from big printing billboards to small printing applications for retail and internal communication. My dedication lies in ensuring that each piece I created not only meets but exceeds expectations, harmonizing creativity with the essence of professionalism.

  • I currently hold the position of Visual Communications Manager at Latino Network, an NGO dedicated to empowering Latinx individuals and communities in Oregon. As part of my role, I am creating the rebranding for the organization and providing creative direction for various small projects across different departments of the organization, for printing and digital media.
