About Me

Short Intro

Twelve years ago, the housing bubble of 2008 made finding work in the architectural field challenging. To adapt, I turned to graphic design, which was becoming increasingly essential due to the rise of mobile applications and new websites.
I joined a small, family-owned light and electrical manufacturing company as a graphic designer. Over 11 years, my role expanded significantly, and I excelled in B2B marketing. I undertook a comprehensive redesign of the company's website, packaging, and overall brand.
Drawing on my background in architecture and art, I applied my skills and knowledge to enhance the company's image. In the world of consumer perception, effective branding is crucial, and I dedicated myself to uplifting the company's visual and market presence.

Cultural Background

I was born in Los Angeles, CA, but lived in Mexico City, Mexico from the age of 3 until I was 15. From a young age, I had a deep appreciation for art and anthropology museums. Although I initially studied architecture, my passion has evolved into a broader love for design. In addition to my design work, I occasionally engage in home remodeling projects.
