During my graduate school journey, I actively participated in various conferences and speaking engagements as part of my design research exploration. In 2020, I was honored with the Concept Design Award at Design Week Mexico for Designing Perspectives, a traveling environmental graphic design exhibition that showcased my thesis research, Mujeres Mexicanas del Diseño Gráfico: Showcasing the Current Women Creative Directors of Graphic Design in Mexico City. Additionally, I was selected to speak on multiple academic and professional panels, where I shared insights on my research, typography, and design innovation. I had the opportunity to represent the School of Fine Arts Communication Design Program, engaging with diverse audiences at events such as TMX at UDEM Campus in Monterrey, Mexico (2019), Austin Design Week (2019), AIGA Grow Conference at St. Edward’s University (2019), and SXSW Innovation Lab in Austin, Texas (2019). These experiences allowed me to contribute to the broader conversation on design while expanding my perspective on the evolving role of graphic design in global contexts.
