hello! i’m karla

A portrait of Karla - a 34 year old woman with light brown skin, wavy medium-length hair, and wavy bangs across her forehead. She is wearing a tan blazer and a red dress underneath. She is surrounded by orange and yellow flowers under a bright blue sky. Karla is a Vancouver-based animator and graphic designer.

Hello! I’m Karla (she/her/hers). This is the home of my art direction, graphic, and motion design client projects. 

My design philosophy is that a kinder world is possible, and I hope my work helps you visualize that. Intentional design choices and their effects on human rights and climate justice are always at the front of my process.

I studied traditional drawing at the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design and went on to graduate from Emily Carr University of Art + Design with a BFA in Animation. 

I was born and raised in sunny San Salvador, El Salvador. I currently live in rainy Vancouver, BC with my wife , a sweet little dog, and a sour little cat. I am a settler making my home in the occupied traditional lands of the Musqueam and Kwantlen Nations – I am indebted to those who have cared and continue to care for this land.

Hire me to art direct, illustrate, design, and animate. And please, e-mail just to say hi! I love saying hi.
