Hey, I'm Marcela

Hometown: Miami, Florida
Residence: New York City

I’m a multidisciplinary Graphic Designer with 4+ years’ experience in branding, creative marketing, and digital experiences for globally recognized e-commerce brands. In my current role at Getty Images, I’ve built a diverse portfolio spanning brand identity, lifecycle and product launch marketing, web & UX/UI design, and video production for paid and organic media. I have a sharp eye for design and the ability to craft both visual and written content, and I love bringing ideas to life in ways that truly connect with audiences. I also hold a Journalism degree from American University, which fuels my ability to tell stories both visually and in writing. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me exploring the arts and seeking fresh inspiration.
