Carla Campos Salazar quick facts

Carla Campos Salazar's childhood and early years

Carla grew up in Lima in a close-knit family. She is the older sister of Adriana Campos Salazar, who years later would rise to fame playing Maripaz in Al Fondo Hay Sitio. From childhood she showed an inclination for art and the visual: she drew, cut up magazines and put together collages long before knowing that had a professional name.

She studied at the Instituto Peruano de Publicidad (IPP), where she trained as a graphic designer and illustrator. There she learned brand design, web design and print design, tools she uses today in her freelance work and in the careful aesthetic of her social media. The IPP gave her the technical base; her eye for composition and colour, on the other hand, is pure natural talent polished with daily practice.

Carla Campos Salazar's professional career

Carla did not come to social media by chance: she came with a portfolio. Before going viral, she was already working as a freelance designer for local brands, creating visual identities, social media assets and printed material. Her leap to mass visibility happened on TikTok, where she began showing behind the scenes of her creative process: sketches, colour palettes, typefaces, mistakes and wins.

Key milestones:

• 2020-2022: A graduate of the IPP, she starts freelance work in graphic design and illustration.
• 2023: She begins publishing design and lifestyle content on TikTok; she passes 100 thousand followers.
• 2024: She reaches 400 thousand followers on TikTok; her visual aesthetic positions her as a reference for graphic design content in Peru.
• January 2025: She confirms her relationship with Curwen (Víctor Caballero) on the programme Habla Good; her profile jumps to showbiz front pages.
• October 2025: Curwen proposes to her in Punta Cana; they announce their engagement.
• 2025-2026: She passes 485 thousand followers on TikTok and 72 thousand on Instagram; she combines design content and couple life.
• August 2026: Magaly TV La Firme broadcasts a paparazzi scoop of her with Alonso Grimaldo at a club in Miraflores.

The craft behind the networks: freelance graphic design

Beyond the showbiz headlines, Carla stays active as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, with branding, web design and social media projects for brands and private clients. It is that work, and not her love life, that led her to build a community on TikTok long before the media interest in her relationship with Curwen: her creative process videos —sketches, palettes and typefaces— are still the core of her content.

Carla Campos Salazar's personal life

Carla's personal life took a media turn in January 2025, when she and Víctor Caballero (Curwen) confirmed on Habla Good that they were on “romantic dates with a view to making it formal”. The 11-year age gap (he 35, she 24) generated debate on social media, but both showed solidity: “We want to get to something formal”, he said.

In October 2025, during a trip to Punta Cana, Curwen proposed. The ring was chosen with help from Tonino, a colleague from Todo Good. Carla announced the engagement on her networks with the spontaneity that characterises her: real photos, without excessive production, a simple caption.

Her sister Adriana Campos Salazar (Maripaz in AFHS) has been her public support. The two share an evident closeness in stories and videos; Carla is, in her words, “the protective older sister”. She has no children.
