Yellow [hola] permalink
I'm ilithya, a digital artist, creative developer and designer from México, based in Hamburg, Germany.
I freelance as an artist and creative/front-end developer.
As an artist I have a keen interest in illustration, street art, and music. I'm currently exploring machine learning and new media art technologies ranging from 3DCG, generative art, AI art, interactive art, and audio-reactive visuals to create art on the web, installations, music videos as visualizers, and video art. I'm interested in creating atypical emotional and captivating visual experiences, as I push and pull the intersection of art and technology.
Collectives or residencies I've taken part of:
- Recurse Center // 2021-2022
- CODAME // 2020
I recently started dipping my toes into NFT waters — find some of my work in Foundation.
As a designer and developer, I care about:
- Accessibility
- CSS methodologies
- Design systems
- DRY patterns
- Emotional design
- ES6
- GLSL shaders
- Graceful degradation
- IxD
- Pattern libraries
- Performance
- PE
- RWD
- Modular architectures
- Style guides
- Typography
- UX & UI
- WebGL
- Web standards
I had the opportunity to work with big clients like L'Oreal, Hornbach, Weber, Douglas and Stanford University.
I wore different creative hats in the past including photography, media production and graphic design. I have a BA in Marketing, passion for creating the unusual and curiosity for technology. My aspiration has always been to combine these skills and experiences to produce memorable outcomes.

What's all about those hands?
I grew up in a school with all kinds of kids, including hearing-impaired ones, up until I was fifteen. We had to learn the sign language alphabet and parts of the language to communicate better with them.
I'm a traveler and have lived in a few countries, so I find it astonishing how sign language crosses barriers that spoken languages don't.
