Mochilita
Mochilita is a sentimental object-based project that includes a handmade backpack, clothing, and books for a childhood stuffed animal. Created as a tribute to formative school memories, it symbolizes the full-circle journey of returning to care for the same plush companion that once offered comfort and imagination.
Pulga & Friends
Pulga & Friends is a packaging and branding series inspired by beloved family pets. Designed as a collectible blind box experience, the project transforms personal memories into playful characters. Each element—from labels to box design—celebrates companionship and nostalgia
Pulga
Pulga is an autobiographical booklet that explores Jaylene’s personal history, cultural identity, and the people who shaped her—particularly her family. Hand-bound and cut by hand, the booklet uses imagery, storytelling, and design to reflect on the small yet significant moments that define one’s sense of self, creating a tender portrait of memory and belonging.
P.S
P.S. is a zine paired with a standee figure and video piece, created in response to the song Estoy Perdido. Exploring the depths of grief and remembrance, the project uses illustration, lyricism, and motion to evoke the quiet, lingering emotions tied to loss, love, and the act of holding on.
