HUMAN CENTERED DESIGN

HIV AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

In the summer of 2013 I was invited to join a team working on the Si Lo Vivo (Yes, I’m living it) campaign. The campaign targeted at-risk populations and attempted to make them aware of free STI testing sites, safe sex practices, and post-result therapy. The promotions combated the fear and stigma of receiving a positive diagnosis by showing people living with HIV.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The social media component, paired with physical advertisements in clinics in Mexico City and Guadalajara, featured testimonials from people who identify as men who have sex with men, sex workers, and trans people.
This campaign was the primary advertisement for the Checcos Organization, who took rapid HIV testing into clubs and bars and united patrons with lgbtq-friendly medical professionals in Guadalajara.

Editorial Production

Thomson Reuters

Law books and magazines for print and digital publications. During my time working at TATA Consultancy Services Mexico, I worked as a layout designer for 3 different teams (Peru, Mexico, and Spain). During the years I worked for Thomson Reuters I designed in more than 15 different editorial style collections. The involved processes included Layout-Proofread-Style corrections as well as prepress for ready-to-print files.
