Born and raised amidst the vibrant landscapes of Texas and Mexico, my journey has been a colorful blend of cultures and experiences. I was born in El Paso, Texas, but I spent my childhood years immersed in the rich tapestry of Chihuahua, Mexico until my family's decision led us back across the border. Completing my high school education in El Paso, I felt drawn to the eclectic energy of Austin, a city that captivated me with its dynamic spirit during my occasional visits.

Since then, Austin has become my home, a place where my passion for design has flourished against the backdrop of its creative atmosphere. Currently, on the cusp of graduating from St. Edward’s University with a double major in Graphic Design and User Experience, I am fueled by a deep-seated admiration for the artistry of design in all its forms.

My decision to pursue a double major stems from a belief in the profound impact design can have on shaping user experiences in our interconnected world. To me, design isn't just about aesthetics; it's about crafting accessible, meaningful experiences that resonate with every individual. I find inspiration in the intricate details of everyday life, from the vibrant hues of a cityscape to the nuanced branding of local businesses.

As a Graphic Designer and User Experience enthusiast, I am driven by a desire to explore new ideas and engage with diverse perspectives. I see the world through a lens of creativity, constantly seeking out fresh inspiration and opportunities to make a positive impact through design. With every project, I strive to infuse my work with the same passion and vibrancy that first drew me to the world of design.
