That is the product. Not the picture, the prompt, or the persona slide. IGRAPHI turns complex evidence into reports, presentations, visual systems, and digital tools that the teams behind development finance, disaster risk, and public health can understand, trust, and act on.
AI does the volume: the options, the first drafts, the comparisons. I do the judgment: what matters, what is true, and what is worth putting in front of the room. Human-led, evidence-based, accountable to you.

Seven steps, in this order, on every engagement. AI works in the middle. People own both ends. Nothing ships until a human has checked it against the evidence and a real reader.
Who has to decide what, and what changes for them if the work succeeds.
Approved data, documents, interviews, and context. Claims start here or they do not start.
Models compare, question, and organize the material and produce options. Their output is working material, not a verdict.
Facts, sources, calculations, quotations, and contradictions checked against the approved evidence.
Subject knowledge, cultural awareness, editorial judgment, and the politics of the room.
Findings become narratives, reports, presentations, visualizations, and digital experiences, then get tested on real readers.
Final human review. Delivered with visible sourcing and stated limits.
Governance rule. AI accelerates the work. Evidence grounds it. Human judgment governs it. No single model is treated as the authority, and nothing generated is final until it has been checked against approved sources and reviewed by me.
See the seven steps on a real project →I am Vladimir Herrera. I have spent more than twenty-five years making complex work clear, credible, and useful, seventeen of them with World Bank teams. IGRAPHI is that practice, now with AI on staff.
The work: technical evidence, institutional priorities, and human consequences turned into reports, presentations, visual systems, digital products, and evidence platforms that people can actually use.
AI-enabled workflows give me more range and more speed. I stay responsible for meaning, accuracy, cultural context, and final quality. That is not a disclaimer. It is the job.
Do not outsource wanting. Do not design only for the file. Do not confuse generation with judgment.
The product is whether the right people can do the right thing without me standing there explaining it. AI makes patterns and options visible. Experience design tests whether those options survive contact with real people. More than twenty-five years of graphic craft makes what survives worth putting in front of them.
Read the manifesto →I do not add AI for novelty. I use it where it helps people examine evidence, understand complexity, and finish important work. Every system starts with a human purpose, runs on approved sources, and ends with human review.

"Vladimir is the best creative person I have encountered in my years of working in marketing campaigns. The originality of his designs is one of his best assets. He works well even under short deadlines."
"Vladimir is a very creative and innovative professional. He always brought new and fresh ideas to the team. As a branding consultant, we worked together on the development of the new PAHO/WHO brand."
"His ability to visualize and put into design what is in the mind of clients, supervisors and peers is amazing. I believe Vladimir is one of the most creative and resourceful professionals in his field."
I work with international organizations, nonprofits, public-sector teams, and consultants to turn complex material into clear, credible, visually engaging communication. The work spans executive presentations, reports and publications, event systems, donor communications, campaigns, and visual tools that help people understand, trust, and act.
Since 2011, the World Reconstruction Conference has gathered governments, NGOs, multilateral bodies, and the private sector to advance discourse on post-disaster recovery. The visual system had to represent complex, politically sensitive themes — resilience, long-term rebuilding, international cooperation — on a global stage, in multiple languages, across years of conference editions.
Generic conference design would undermine the credibility of an institution whose work shapes how billions in recovery funding are allocated. Every visual decision carried institutional weight.
Rather than depicting disaster, I developed a visual language centered on resilience as a forward-looking concept — structural metaphors of layered systems and upward movement that communicate rebuilding without relying on imagery of destruction.
The system was built for flexibility from day one: it needed to scale from large-format exhibition signage to multilingual print programs, executive presentations, digital assets, and broadcast backdrops — consistently, year after year.
The WRC brand helped position the conference as the leading global forum for post-disaster reconstruction — credibility that directly supported its role in shaping international recovery policy. The system served 50+ partner organizations and 1,000+ delegates annually across multiple conference editions.
"When your visual identity is the first thing finance ministers and UN officials see, it sets the tone for how seriously your institution's work will be taken. Design here is not decoration — it is credibility."
Post-disaster reconstruction sits at the intersection of development finance, diplomacy, and humanitarian response. Communicating across that spectrum required a visual language that was simultaneously universal and specific — authoritative without being cold, urgent without being alarmist.

A browser page. A team about to publish an institutional Word report drops the file on it and gets a short, plain-language list of what still needs a person: contents pages that promise chapters that do not exist, tables with no source line, images with no alt text, links to bookmarks that are gone.
The document never leaves the computer. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, nothing is changed. There is no service to send it to, so there is no IT security review to pass and no retention policy to negotiate.
Working prototype. Operational since 1 September 2026 as a pilot build, in owner testing on real documents before any external pilot. The tool's findings have been measured by hand. Whether a reader can act on them alone has not been measured yet. Both facts are below.
The person with the document is a communications or publications officer with a deadline. The report has been through review and reads correctly. What they cannot see is whether its publication structure is right, because proofreading is reading, and reading is the mode in which the document looks fine.
The job to be done: find what a compliance reviewer would find, before the reviewer does, without sending the file anywhere.
The rules of institutional publishing, written down as checks in three families: attribution (the caption and source layer), accessibility, and structure. One real case to build against: a PAHO-style Spanish guidance document that had passed review. And a corpus of 118 documents to measure how noisy each check is.
AI coding assistants built the parser, drafted the check logic, and rehearsed the report language against a stand-in reader who is not a designer. That is where the volume came from: variations on how to phrase a finding, options for how to group them, first drafts of every check.
The tool itself contains no model. It makes no network call of any kind. The browser build fails if one appears in the bundle. AI helped build the product; AI is not inside the product. The two are different claims and both are stated.
On its first run against the real case the tool produced six confident, wrong findings. It read figura 2-1 as a broken pointer to a figure 2 that did not exist. Chapter-hyphen numbering is standard in exactly this material. A generated check had guessed a convention and guessed wrong.
Fixed, then measured across the corpus. Four checks that stayed noisy are off by default. A run of the built page was recorded with zero network requests. The detection engine was then frozen, so later changes to the report could not quietly change what gets detected.
The report was answering the wrong question. On 64 of the 118 documents the checks found nothing, and the report said "Nothing here" three times, then eleven paragraphs about what the software declines to do. Sixteen documents produced an empty report because they had no headings, captions, tables, images, or links at all. One was 804 paragraphs long. Silence meant two opposite things and the reader could not tell which.
So coverage is now stated before findings: what was read, and where the document gave the checks nothing to work with. Thin documents are flagged as thin. And the human's remaining work is a section of the answer, not a list of limitations.
Four groups, in plain language and in order of consequence: Fix before this publishes, Worth a look, Your call, and We could not check this. Every item says what it is, where it is (quoting the document), why it matters in one sentence, who normally fixes it, and roughly how long it takes. Items the reader can fix alone are marked and listed first.
The run opens with one sentence a person would actually say to a colleague. That sentence was rewritten more times than any check.
A deployment record states what became operational, when, with the build's size and hash, and what had and had not been tested at that point. The status on this page matches it: pre-pilot, owner testing, external pilot on hold.
The tool never edits or rewrites the document. It never says a figure is wrong, only that nothing in the document shows where a number came from, which is a different and checkable claim. It never generates a statistic, citation, or quotation. What it could not check is printed on every run, including the clean ones.
That is the question the validation asked. Every number below was produced by a person reading findings against the document, not by the software scoring itself. The caveats are part of the result.
Caveat, stated on the record. The 87.7% is a baseline on the twelve documents the repairs were derived from, so it is a property of that set, not of the tool. It has to be re-measured on unseen documents before it is quoted as accuracy.
Not yet measured, and this is the one that matters. Whether a publications officer can open the report, locate each finding in Word, and fix it without me in the room. That test is written: ten fields per document, including "items you acted on", "could you locate each finding from the report alone", and "time from opening the file to a usable list". It has not been run yet. When it has, the results go here, whichever way they come out.
Send me the document and the audience it has to reach. I will tell you where it holds up and where it does not.
The Pan American Health Organization — the regional office of the World Health Organization for the Americas — needed a cohesive visual identity capable of representing one of the world's most trusted public health institutions across all media, all languages, and all regions of the Americas.
The existing identity was fragmented across departments and decades of publications. A rebrand at this scale — touching everything from emergency health communications to flagship scientific reports — required both clarity and a real sensitivity to how the institution works.
Working with PAHO's communications leadership, I developed a modernized brand system that honored the institution's legacy while projecting the precision and authority its global health role demands. The identity had to function across print, digital, broadcast, campaign, and environmental contexts — in Spanish, English, French, and Portuguese simultaneously.
The visual language was grounded in clarity and trust: clean typographic hierarchies, a rigorous color system, and a suite of publication templates that made PAHO's complex scientific and policy content accessible without sacrificing credibility.
A complete brand system — new visual identity, brand guidelines, publication templates, campaign frameworks, and digital assets — giving PAHO/WHO one clear, credible visual voice for the next decade of global health communication.
"Vladimir is a very creative and innovative professional. He always brought new and fresh ideas to the team. As a branding consultant, we worked together on the development of the new PAHO/WHO brand."
— Denisse Romero, PAHO Corporate Communications Specialist
Global health communication is high-stakes by definition. When PAHO communicates — about disease outbreaks, health policy, or emergency response — the visual quality of that communication directly affects how seriously it is received. A fractured identity sends the wrong signal. A unified, authoritative one reinforces the institution's mandate.

The Inter-American Development Bank and International Monetary Fund produce some of the most consequential knowledge products in international finance — annual reports, policy briefs, technical manuals, and impact publications consumed by finance ministers, field practitioners, and global media alike.
The challenge: the quality of the research and policy thinking rarely matched the quality of the visual presentation. Dense, inconsistent, hard-to-navigate documents were undermining the credibility and reach of work that deserved a wider audience.
I built publication and presentation systems that turn complex economic research, policy guidance, and dense data into clear, readable documents — without losing the technical rigor that makes them credible.
The approach was structural: strong typographic hierarchies, consistent data visualization frameworks, and layout systems that guided readers through complex content in a logical, compelling sequence. The goal was always the same — make the most important findings impossible to miss.
Visual systems spanning annual reports, policy briefs, technical manuals, and impact publications — each designed to make complex development finance content clear, consistent, and worth reading, at a global scale.
"His ability to visualize and put into design what is in the mind of clients, supervisors, and peers is amazing."
— Luigi Buitrago, Panamanian Consulate
Development finance institutions communicate through their publications. A poorly designed annual report signals disorganization. A well-structured policy brief gets read and cited. The design of these publications is a credibility decision — not just an aesthetic one.

Senior leaders, communications teams, and program directors at international organizations, government agencies, development institutions, and NGOs who need presentation materials that hold up in front of boards, ministers, donors, and international leadership audiences.
If your team is still working from a template that hasn't been updated in years — or producing one-off decks that take hours and still look inconsistent — this is the service that addresses the underlying structural problem.
Generic slide decks undermine credibility before a single word is spoken. Inconsistent layouts, misused templates, cluttered slides, and typography that doesn't reflect the institution's authority all signal "we're not ready." In high-stakes environments, that signal is costly.
I design presentation systems that give your team a structure to work within — clear slide layouts, strong visual hierarchy, and a framework that makes complex ideas easier to present, not harder.
Multilateral institutions, UN agencies, and development banks operate in environments where presentation quality directly affects how seriously proposals and reports are received. A World Bank board presentation that looks like a mid-level corporate deck is not just an aesthetic failure — it's a credibility risk.
I have designed presentations for organizations where the audience included finance ministers, heads of state, and global media. Those environments demand precision and authority. I build systems that let your team work at that level every time.
FOUNDER'S RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
World Bank · GFDRR · PAHO/WHO · IDB · The White House · IMF
Knowledge management teams, communications departments, research units, and editorial leads at multilateral organizations, global health agencies, development banks, and NGOs who produce annual reports, policy documents, technical manuals, and major publications.
If your organization publishes research that deserves more readers — and you suspect the design is part of the problem — this is where to start.
Technical reports that nobody reads. Dense publications that bury their own key findings. Annual reports that feel like compliance documents rather than stories worth telling. These are design failures, not content failures — and they're fixable.
Good publication design creates reading paths through complex content — hierarchy that signals what matters, layouts that guide the eye, and structure that makes the key findings impossible to miss, even for a reader with three minutes to spare.
PAHO Publications Visual System
PAHO's institutional brand and its publications visual system are distinct. This work focused specifically on the editorial system governing five publication series—not on the organization-wide identity.
I audited five production InDesign templates and 25 cover spreads, mapped more than 180 named text styles, and consolidated the rules for covers, interiors, typography, color, spines, and multilingual production.
The result is one practical source of truth for Flagship, High Profile, Regular Technical, Guidelines, and Guidance & Manuals publications.

An organization's publications carry the weight of its credibility. A poorly designed report from PAHO or the World Bank doesn't just fail to communicate — it actively undermines trust in the institution's professionalism. A well-designed one extends the reach and influence of the underlying research.
I've designed publications for organizations that produce content in four languages, for audiences across six continents, under tight production timelines. The work takes both editorial judgment and technical production skill — and the two have to work together from the start.
FOUNDER'S RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
PAHO/WHO · World Bank · GFDRR · IDB · IMF
Communications teams, program managers, and event organizers at international organizations, UN agencies, global health programs, and development institutions who need complete visual systems for conferences, summits, public health campaigns, and awareness events.
If your event or campaign materials look like they were assembled from stock assets and last year's template — or if your branding doesn't hold together from the opening banner to the post-event social content — this is where the problem is solved.
Events and campaigns are multi-touchpoint experiences. When the visual identity is inconsistent across signage, print, digital, email, and social media, the brand signal fragments — and so does the audience's sense of the organization's authority and preparation.
I design integrated visual systems that hold together across every touchpoint — from conference hall signage to ministerial backdrop to post-event digital assets — in multiple languages, for audiences across multiple countries, across multiple years of a recurring event.
International conferences are where organizations establish their narrative with governments, donors, and peer institutions. The visual identity of that event is the first signal of how prepared and serious the organization is. A coherent, purposeful visual system says: we are ready, we are credible, and this is worth your attention.
I've designed event systems that ran across 40+ partner nations, sustained over multiple years, and scaled from intimate ministerial dinners to 1,000+ delegate international conferences. The discipline required — across timelines, budgets, languages, and production realities — is exactly the kind of complexity I know how to run.

Organizations, consultants, entrepreneurs, and small businesses that need a professional website, landing page, digital tool, or online experience that looks credible, works clearly, and supports real business goals.
This is for teams that have outgrown a basic website, need to explain their services better, want a stronger online presence, or need pages that are easy to update and aligned with how the team actually works.
If your website feels outdated, unclear, too hard to update, or disconnected from the way you actually work — this service is designed to fix that.
A website should do more than sit online. It should explain who you are, build trust, guide people to the right information, and help them take action.
Many websites fail because they are either too generic, too complicated, or too disconnected from the organization behind them. The message is unclear. The services are buried. The design does not match the quality of the work. And the tools behind the site do not help the team work faster or smarter.
IGRAPHI designs and builds clean, fast, visually strong websites and landing pages for organizations that need to communicate clearly online. The work combines design direction, information structure, responsive layouts, visual systems, and lightweight front-end development to create web experiences that feel credible, easy to navigate, and aligned with the organization’s message.
Your website is often the first place people decide whether they trust you.
For consultants, organizations, and small businesses, a strong website can make services easier to understand, make proposals feel more credible, and turn a casual visitor into a real conversation. Good web design is not just decoration — it is communication, positioning, and business development working together.
A clear, well-structured site also makes everything downstream easier: faster updates, consistent messaging, and pages that scale gracefully as the work grows.
At IGRAPHI, web development and design is approached as one connected discipline: clear design direction, strong communication, solid information structure, and lightweight front-end development that is easy to maintain.
