La Rifa Chocolatería— Branding, Illustration, Art Direction La Rifa is a project dedicated to promoting cacao as a natural energy source while collaborating closely with cacao-growing families in southeastern Mexico. The rebrand required an identity that communicated craft, cultural depth and the brand’s direct connection to origin.

The visual system is built around custom lettering and a secondary seal, both designed to reflect the handmade quality of the project. 

As the brand evolved, I also developed the Territorios chocolate bar illustrations, which depict key stages of cacao production and the ecosystems that sustain it. Each artwork is inspired by iconic twentieth-century Mexican painters and organized around different moments of the day, creating a layered narrative that ties the product back to land, community and tradition.
