I worked within the in-house creative agency of UNDP Headquarters.
This unit was established to bring efficiency and quality to global communications, an innovative approach for the United Nations System that gave me exposure to brand governance at a large international organization.
My role focused on designing high-impact communication products that supported UNDP’s global advocacy efforts. While much of the work centered on building scalable resources, it directly contributed to strengthening UNDP’s ability to communicate consistently and strategically across all levels.

Key contributions: UNDP 60 years and more
The period at the creative agency of UNDP was packed with several different projects, spaning from reports and campaign assets to templates and presentation decks used by teams worldwide. Below, some highlights that cover these topics, and a deep dive into a flagship project, the UNDP 60 years brand
UNDP 60 - visual identity and design leadership
In the anniversary of 60 years of UNDP, in 2025, I led the anniversary brand design, from concept to rollout. Internal microsite, marketing collaterals, and ensured a cohesive presence across multiple channels. I also collaborated with brand managers, communications leads, and external vendors to ensure alignment with UNDP’s brand standards and global storytelling objectives.
Scalable templates & systems
Libraries and visual frameworks for digital and print usage, that reduced production time while maintaining high design quality.
Impact
By combining hands-on design execution with brand governance and workflow improvements, I helped position UNDP’s communications with more consistency, efficiency, and visibility. My contributions supported both high-profile campaigns like UNDP 60 and the daily needs of teams across the organization.
