Multidisciplinary Designer
Hola! I’m Ceci, a multidisciplinary designer from Argentina living in New York, and a proud nerd who loves experimenting with new technologies.
I am currently a Creative Technologist Intern at Entropico, where I get to blend my love for visual storytelling with cutting-edge digital tools.
What I’ve Been Up To
My schedule’s been packed with roles that keep me at the intersection of design, production, and community. I’m currently a Creative Technologist Intern at Entropico, exploring how AI is used in real creative work. Alongside that, I serve as Secretary of Communications for the Ad Club and work as a Master Tutor at FIT for Digital Product Design, which keeps me constantly engaged with how other designers think and work.
At the same time, I’ve been pushing myself to share more of what I know about AI. Even though public speaking still makes me a bit nervous, I’ve found that I genuinely enjoy it. Recently, I spoke at a Friends of Figma event during New York’s Maker Night, where I walked through my design process and how I use AI in real projects. It was a chance to connect with people who are just as curious about where tech is headed.
Living Rent Free in My Head (and screen)
Right now, I’m especially interested in how far I can push ideas with AI. I’ve been exploring “vibecoding,” building the exact tools I need to bring concepts to life quickly. AI has lowered the barrier, so I’m fable to focus on building a strong concept and executing it effectively. It honestly feels like there’s no ceiling anymore. I’m also deeply interested in the science behind creativity, especially how the brain generates ideas and how that process can be trained and improved. And yes, being from Argentina, I’m still celebrating that third World Cup star!
My design approach stems from a lifelong obsession with creation, starting with MS Paint doodles and evolving into complex digital products. I bridge traditional craft and cutting-edge tech, grounded in product design and prototyping with Figma and Framer while integrating AI throughout my workflow. Tools like Gemini, ElevenLabs, and Midjourney help me automate repetitive tasks, freeing space for deeper creative exploration and rapid iteration.
My technical versatility spans precision typography and brand identity in Adobe Creative Suite to immersive 3D and motion work in After Effects, Spline, and Blender. The "Dibujo" mindset at the core of my work fuels curiosity and playfulness—trading digital spray cans for generative nodes and Vibe Coding, I blend childhood energy with professional execution to create products that feel both innovative and human.
A few awards I’m really proud of
My work has recently been recognized through a mix of competitions and awards. I received the SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Academic Excellence, and I was the winner of the 2025 and 2026 Creative Tech & Design Age of AI Hackathon at FIT. I was also a finalist at The One Show Young Ones 2025 for a Student Client Pitch, where I earned merits in Integrated Campaign, Social Media, and Experiential & Immersive. In addition, I won the 2025 CT&D Scholarship Competition in both Kinetic Typeface Design and Product Design, and my Students Day project was featured in HUE Magazine in 2026.
