A graduate of CENTRO in Visual Communication (2025), something you should know about Gala is her constant curiosity, which is why her work moves between web design, editorial design, and illustration. Her work is based on a knack for asking uncomfortable questions and learning from others. She knows that good design has a great impact. Her interdisciplinary training encompasses service design, knowledge translation, community engagement, visual communication, participatory research, and social and health sciences, which underpins a practice that is as strategic as it is creative.

Taking a curious look at epistemic injustices, we analyze how bodily exclusion directly impacts the way certain knowledge is legitimized, beyond the hand used to write. This research reveals that non-normative bodies challenge structures that have historically rendered other forms of learning, teaching, and knowledge invisible.
Four out of 10 women in Mexico City experience period poverty. Water shortages in Mexico City are becoming a health crisis that disproportionately affects menstruating people.
After the floods in Mexico City, what were once lakes are demanding their freedom. What would happen if they were uncovered? From ak(al)i to alla is a journey aboard the currents of a "new" city.

You need more than your body to be able to draw, to be present. Only then could we invoke Myra Landau at the close of the MUAC.
This editorial design project brings together a series of manipulated photographs taken during an immersive trip through Japan. Through visual experimentation and image manipulation, they reinterpret the landscapes, culture, and moments experienced during that journey in a personal way.
The project was inspired by the dance of the bees, a unique form of communication that reflects collective intelligence and the connection between living beings. This idea was the starting point for creating an authentic identity that, in addition to highlighting Oaxaca's biodiversity and cultural richness, honors the product's origin and tradition.
