Hi, my real name is Clara. Now that we’ve met, Welcome In :)
Branding, packaging and printed matter, often starting from illustration.

Hi, I’m Clara, also known as Makla.

I’m a graphic designer from Valencia (Spain). I’ve lived in Berlin, Madrid and I’m now based between Valencia and Amsterdam, which has shaped a more open and cross-cultural way of working.

My work focuses on branding and visual identities, where I explore colour, typography and illustration as part of the concept, not just the execution.

If you’ve made it this far, you might be wondering who I am outside of design. The truth is, it’s all connected.

I notice colour everywhere; in the street, in posters, in shops, even in cafés. Sometimes it’s not even visual; it’s a smell that somehow feels like a colour.

I work a lot with my hands. I make ceramics, wonky, sometimes funny, sometimes just a bit off. I’ve also explored jewellery, creating pieces I can wear and carry with me .

I’m obsessed with flowers, for real. Their colour, their volume, the way they occupy space and change it <3.

And I’m also a trapeze artist. It might not seem directly related, but it is. There’s a lot of problem-solving, adapting and rethinking movement. Sometimes creativity is just finding a way out of a position without falling.

That same mindset carries into how I approach design.
