Since 2017, I have worked as a remote external consultant from Chile, providing graphic and layout design for nearly 200 drug prevention and treatment manuals for The Colombo Plan—a regional intergovernmental organization focused on human capital development and socio-economic progress across Asia, the Pacific, and beyond. My responsibilities included adapting and designing publications originally developed in Asia for Latin American audiences, ensuring each manual was visually engaging and culturally relevant. I also introduced modern, minimalistic layouts tailored to regional preferences, and created designs for manuals distributed in Brazil, Albania, Serbia, and Ukraine, adapting each project to diverse international audiences.
