SUMA is a digital platform dedicated to empowering the Latinx community with financial education and wealth-building tools. When they approached me to concept and design merchandise for SUMA Dinero Fest: A Wealth-Building Fiesta, I saw an opportunity to create impactful, branded items that would resonate with our audience while seamlessly integrating our partner, CHASE Bank.

JEFAS ON THE RISE | FIERCE X makers mark
Art Direction, Design, Identity: Karina Limon
FIERCE was originally established to super-serve the first-gen Latinx female audience. FIERCE is a community that amplifies the voices, stories, and experiences of Latinas and women of color to remind us of the fierce power and potential within them all. "Jefas on the Rise" was an editorial series dedicated to highlighting Latinx entrepreneurs in the early stages of their careers. I led the art direction and design for the series, including the editorial content, social media assets, event creative, merchandise, and the website design for the editorial landing page.
After numerous features, FIERCE partnered with Maker's Mark to present candidates for the inaugural Jefas on the Rise Awards. The candidates spanned five categories: Business, Entertainment, Health & Wellness, Lifestyle, and STEM. The FIERCE audience voted online for the Jefa they connected with the most, and the winners and candidates were honored with a five-course dinner, each course paired with a Maker’s Mark cocktail, at Damian in Los Angeles, CA.
GRILL & CHILL | HISPANIC KITCHEN X STELLA ROSA
Art Direction, Design, Identity: Karina Limon
Hispanic Kitchen, mitú’s food-focused vertical, celebrates the rich history, nostalgia, and traditions that food can evoke. In partnership with Stella Rosa, we launched the "Grill & Chill Pairings" Summer/Fall campaign—two dynamic carousels that highlighted Latinx food culture while showcasing how Stella Rosa wines elevate the experience. The visuals featured original still photography and engaging GIF animations, all produced in-house at mitú Studios. Together, these carousels seamlessly blended culinary creativity with brand storytelling, offering fresh and culturally resonant ways to enjoy Stella Rosa wines.
Carousel 01: Chiles & Chill Pairings
This carousel honed in on a staple of Latino cuisine—the chile. Through a recipe that made chiles the star, the content demonstrated how the Stella Rosa Spicy Collection wines are the perfect companions to balance and cool the fiery flavors.
Carousel 02: Treat & Chill Pairings
This carousel took a playful approach by presenting a snack board that married classic Latino treats with the traditional elements of a charcuterie board, like cheeses and fruits. The finale was a Stella Rosa sangria recipe, designed to be enjoyed as the ultimate treat with your best friend.
