Hi there! I'm Monica, but the fun people call me Mocha. I'm a graphic designer who went to school for architecture and interior design, both of which allowed us to venture into Adobe's creative programs, so here we are! I started out my career for a friend's local camera distributing business called Instaxtic, during which I was tasked to make photos for product listings and their social media alike. I then got my first big-girl job at the start of the pandemic, at a company called Many Shirts, a print-on-demand company that gave me creative freedom to design whatever I wanted. This was a pivotal moment in my career because it also let me express myself creatively. I was then hired at a social media marketing agency called True North Social, and was tasked to create branded graphics, visual layouts, and write copy for different brands such as Cutera (AviClear, truBody, Secret) Civant Skin Care, SuperMouth, Forloh, Moxie Management, and many more! Now we're here, and looking for more creative opportunities. I love that design has always been fluid, as there is a never-ending supply of things to be learned, and I can't wait to create with you!
