About

Hello, I’m a Graphic Designer & Illustrator from San Antonio, Texas. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Digital Communication from the University of Texas at San Antonio.

I am a self-driven designer who is passionate about the power of design and its ability to impact change. I believe the design field can break down barriers through advocacy, inclusion, and collaboration. I have learned the importance of design and the power of bringing different perspectives to the table. I strive to create impactful designs that inspire and move organizations. My mission is to help create a better world through purposeful and creative design.

When I’m not designing, you can find me traveling, hiking, and exploring the outdoors. I love learning new things and challenging myself with new adventures! Feel free to get in touch with me to work on a project, collaborate, or just to connect with one another.
