I’m a trilingual Los Angeles native whose passion for creating art was sparked in 10th grade, setting the course for a fulfilling career in design. After earning my Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design and Advertising with a minor in Illustration from ArtCenter College of Design, I dedicated 35+ years to developing my craft. From launching my own creative agency to leading branding and design efforts for industry giants, I’ve gained extensive experience in art direction, strategic branding, and team leadership. My expertise spans everything from initial concept development and graphic design to illustration, interior design, photography, typography, copywriting, product development and production.

 

Now, I’m channeling my energy into helping others achieve their creative goals. Whether mentoring, designing, or collaborating, I aim to empower passionate individuals and brands to bring their visions to life while delivering solutions that are both original and impactful.
