Back to original languageAbout Malena
Hello, I'm Malena, a Senior Graphic Designer specializing in branding, UI, illustration, animation, and live visuals. I've been working in this field for over 15 years, since graduating as a graphic designer from the University of Buenos Aires (my hometown), where I also taught for several years.
When I moved to Madrid, I worked as an Art Director at an advertising agency that was part of the McCann Group. Then, I spent 10 years as a new media coordinator at Fox and later worked with Disney as a content producer for social media. At the same time, I've always been developing my own work independently in the art and music scene in Spain, designing posters, album covers, illustrations, websites, animations for promotional videos, and visuals for live shows.
Since 2015, I've been taking classes in drawing, watercolor, painting, and illustration with renowned artists, such as Vicente García Fuentes or René Merino. Additionally, in recent years, I've worked as a Graphic Design professor for ESPRI University in Madrid, as well as teaching how to use programs like Figma, Photoshop, and Illustrator in various formats.
In my daily work, I use the Adobe suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects), Figma (Design and Prototyping), Framer, Processing, Touch Designer, and Resolume Arena, as well as Google Slides, Miro, Notion, ClickUp, Monday, Microsoft Teams, and other online tools.

I can't imagine a better situation to work with a freelancer. We developed 2 infographic videos in After Effects with Malena using personal libraries and various animations. From minute one, she perfectly understood the project and was dedicated to the final quality, as well as the final client's deadlines.
Personally, she's also unbeatable. I hope we can share many projects together.
A great choice if you are looking for a professional with her profile.
