I’m an independent Graphic Designer, Creative Director, and Artist whose work spans the commercial, editorial, digital, typographic, music, and art spaces, collaborating with clients both big and small.
With 5 years of experience, I’ve worked across a broad spectrum of creative roles, including illustrator, graphic designer, UGC creator, and product photographer. My approach blends digital and analog techniques, balancing a disruptive style with the ability to adapt to the specific needs of each brand.
Within my studio art practice, I create a range of abstract digital works—formed and formless—that explore color and bold, disruptive compositions. These works connect expressive creativity with purposeful gestures, resulting in impactful visual narratives.
My design philosophy combines bold creativity with precise detail. Every visual is clean, impactful, and purposeful, with each element thoughtfully placed. Whether it's minimalist elegance or daring, vibrant compositions, I prioritize clarity and brand alignment. I love to experiment with color, typography, and layout to create designs that tell compelling stories and inspire action.
I am also passionate about collaborating with indigenous people, healers, and organizations in the entheogenic/plant medicine space, as well as environmental and climate action non-profits. I’m equally interested in working with innovative lifestyle and action sports brands.

This natural symbol has witnessed an internal conflict between admiration and fear, attraction and rejection, making it an emblem of contradictions.
Ultimately, amapola challenges us to think outside the box, inviting us to approach the complexities of the world with an open and understanding mind. Amapola is all about embracing duality in life and recognizing the duality within yourself.
The truth is that amapola is not for everyone. And thats okay too.
Graduated with honors from Universidad Anáhuac Querétaro with a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design and a minor in Industrial Design.
I see Amapola as my creative "alter-ego", an extension of my artist-self. Amapola loves aesthetics and the unconventional. However, she loves to break rules with intention, experimenting with boundaries and creating disruptive and memorable designs.
Soy Ana Paula Martínez, diseñadora gráfica mexicana. Tengo 24 años y me considero una persona espontánea, disruptiva, determinada y creativa. Me gradué con honores de la Universidad Anáhuac Querétaro con una licenciatura en Diseño Gráfico y una especialidad en Diseño Industrial.
Veo a Amapola como mi "alter ego" creativo, una extensión de mi yo artístico. Amapola ama la estética y lo no convencional. Sin embargo, le encanta romper las reglas con intención, experimentando con los límites y creando diseños disruptivos y memorables.
La flor de Amapola, es impresionante con sus vibrantes pétalos rojos y su delicada estructura. Su belleza puede cautivar la vista de cualquiera, convirtiéndolo en un símbolo icónico de elegancia. Sin embargo, detrás de su fascinante atractivo se esconde una advertencia. La Amapola es conocida por su uso en la producción de opio, una sustancia peligrosa conocida por sus cualidades adictivas. Por lo tanto, si bien encanta con su belleza, sirve como un claro recordatorio de la dualidad.
Este símbolo natural ha sido testigo de un conflicto interno entre la admiración y el miedo, la atracción y el rechazo, convirtiéndola en un emblema de contradicciones. La ironía de la amapola reside en esta dualidad inherente: una flor hermosa y seductora que alberga dentro de sí una sustancia peligrosa y adictiva. Esta contradicción nos recuerda la complejidad de la naturaleza humana y la fragilidad de nuestras percepciones sobre la belleza y el peligro.
Amapola nos desafía a pensar fuera de lo común, invitándonos a abordar las complejidades del mundo con una mente abierta y comprensiva. Amapola trata sobre abrazar la dualidad en la vida y reconocer la dualidad dentro de ti mismo.
La verdad es que Amapola no es para todos...
