HELLO,
My name is Yarira Aguirre
I am a Graphic Designer, Illustrator, Digital Artist and Visual artist.
My design style is based on the idea that every project presents a special opportunity to communicate a message or tell a narrative.
​
Design, in my opinion, is a powerful means of expression, a visual story that can stir up feelings, impart knowledge, and leave a lasting impression.
​
Like my work? Want to learn more? Email me. I would love to learn about your design needs and how I may be of assistance.
