Catalina is known for her colorful and vibrant designs.
Her ability to reimagine the folkloric visuals of Latin America in a kaleidoscope of color and symmetry has helped her build her own universe based on the simplicity of beauty.
Catalina graduated with honors in graphic design from the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, Medellín (Colombia), following painting and drawing courses at the University of Pittsburg (USA) and fine arts and lithography at the Llotja School of Arts, Barcelona (Spain).
Her distinctive style has led to collaborations with major clients such as Disney, Netflix, Xbox, Paul Smith, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Camper, Nike, Levis, Smart/Mercedes Benz, Paulo Coelho, Unicef, the municipalities of Barcelona and London, and the Government of India, among others.
Additionally, she has two courses on Domestika about Pattern Design and Creating Color Palettes , guiding thousands of students globally.
Catalina is frequently invited to share her insights and expertise in talks and workshops around the world.
