A labeled futurist by peers. Inspired by life experiences & what the world could be.

I love to communicate visually and tell stories through illustration, branding, animation, and design. I consider a project successful when it achieves empathy and connects with the audience.

I consider myself lucky as I discovered this is the field I wanted to be in at an early age I used to illustrate blueprints and design my own toys on paper to send to Hasbro with the hopes they would develop my creations; they always politely declined with a written letter.

Since 2011, I have provided many creative solutions for multiple brands using human-centric design thinking and staying innovative thanks to my thirst for design knowledge shown by my constant exploration of new techniques, technology, and skills. As a freelance designer who transitioned to an Art Director in multiple agency environments and a brand designer & Creative Strategist in the corporate world, I have become flexible in various environments collaborating with various industries and teams.

You might find me on a nice rooftop lounge with my sketchpad sketching and making lists to discover solutions for any creative project, self-teaching myself new techniques or programs via YouTube and online courses, or chasing concerts.

My talents are constantly evolving and currently in my arsenal are illustration, video-editing, motion graphics, branding, art direction, photography, prototyping, advertising, digital design, AR design, print design, social media, and many more new skills on the way.
