IGNITE explores how the legacy of colonialism manifests as imposter syndrome within Latin American identities. Rooted in my experience as a Latina living abroad, the project reflects the tension of existing between cultures. Through editorial design, it uses typography, layout, and visual storytelling to make the invisible visible. Comprising a magazine, booklet, and poster series, the project aims to spark dialogue and reclaim space, voice, and self-worth.
