Where's Waldo, Luciana-machado - lucy-machado Man in red and white striped shirt, blue pants, and glasses strikes a playful pose. He wears a beanie with a pom-pom.

I can relate to Waldo more than I'd like to admit. Always moving, always somewhere new, and half the time people don't even know where I've gone until I'm already there. But one thing stays consistent: I show up in my uniform, ready to work, eyes open.

Looking for Lucy: Where Could She Be?


This is Looking for Lucy, a personal series where I'm experimenting with prompt engineering, asset manipulation, and visual editing. I'm hacking Where's Wally scenes through AI and Canva to build my professional travelogue: the places my work has taken me, documented through the visual language of search and discovery.

This first scene is Looking for Lucy Up in Space.

Where have you been? Everywhere.


Next up: The British Museum, the London Olympics, everywhere I've been embedded. Find me in each scene. I'm always wearing jeans, white shirt, backpack, hat, sunglasses, ID badge on a lanyard. Same person, different worlds, built entirely with free tools because representing complexity shouldn't require complex budgets (sorry, Veo3.1).

Didn't find Lucy? No worries, here I am.
