I am an award-winning Latina art director & graphic designer based in Chicago. 😊
I have spent my career exploring the intersection of visual tension, cultural storytelling, and emotional resonance. What began as a fascination with cinematic movement and performance evolved into formal training in Rhetoric and Studio Art at Bates College, followed by a Graphic Design certificate at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. That foundation directly informs my approach to art direction: treating visual rhythm, camera movement, and persuasive narrative as integral parts of the same discipline.
After refining brand systems and digital craft at Walker Sands, I now lead integrated, high-visibility campaigns at GMMB across civic advocacy, public health, and cultural institutions. As an Art Director and a woman of color, my focus is on building work that breaks category conventions while expanding cultural access. By pairing rigorous design systems with strategic empathy, I direct 360 creative platforms that capture human truth, elevate marginalized perspectives, and drive measurable behavioral change.
