Baka Gabriela, Currently works at Walker Art Center, Minneapolis

Communication designer focusing on digital experiences, UX, UI, and branding. Working with clients from cultural and commercial sectors on a broad range of projects including art direction, book design, exhibitions, websites, and social media and data visualization, lately, I am totally fascinated by motion and 3d. I am favoring close collaboration and dialog with commissioners in order to deliver clear and functional solutions, through custom and expressive means.
