In 2009, she won a scholarship with seven other young Bolivian artists to participate in a cultural exchange and be part of The Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark. This experience led to the production of a short firm called La Abuela Grillo.

In 2010, Delgado presented her first Keila and Keisy comic at an opening event for Comics Week at the Simon I Center.{{Cite web |last=Spellmann |first=Linda |title=Keila y Keisy en 'Ladrones de Juguetes' |date=2010-08-04 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=LRlxm8uF_naqd-HK&v=UFhZkmHG9kg&feature=youtu.be |access-date=2025-03-25|publisher = YouTube}} With this comic, she had developed a saga of stories with these characters, between the art and the narrative. In 2012, a short film version of this project won a prize for best short national film at the International Film Festival of Santa Cruz (FENAVID).

In 2016, she published a book of stories, titled El viaje de la noche, in which she explores a fantasy narrative with philosophical themes. The stories are accompanied with her own images, in a style inspired by the works of William Blake.

In 2019, Delgado introduced the experimental comic Drama Pink, a collaboration with the Mexican artist Stephanie Clark. In Drama Pink, they explore diverse concepts related to autism and the feminine perspective.
