I am an artist by nature, and communicating through design grounds me.
Born and raised in Miami, my journey began as the go-to artist in my fourth-grade class. Many years and drawings of Disney characters later, I attended Florida International University where I received my Bachelor of Science in Marketing with a minor in Graphic Design.
A few years of detour working with the world of luxury Miami nightlife gave me some knowledge of mixed drinks and the beverage industry. This knowledge led me to my first position at Fat Tuesday, where I progressed quickly into being the lead Marketing representative for the entire brand and was allowed to explore creative endeavors in design. Most importantly, it reminded me of what I loved and needed to do most - create.
Since then, I have relocated to the West Coast in Seattle, where I continue to develop my Marketing and Design expertise. I invite you to take a look through my advertising work and feel free to reach out for any freelance design needs or to chat!
