she/her

Celina crafts conceptual creative. A well-crafted concept is one that sticks. Something that sticks is something that resonates—and when things resonate, Celina knows she has done her best. Celina is happiest when she thinks outside the artboard, designing work that evokes emotion, and using curiosity to spark it in others.
