About

Interdisciplinary Artist and Graphic Designer eager to bring your visions to life :0)

I received my BFA in Studio Art with a focus on printmaking and a certificate in Digital Art and Media from UT Austin in 2024. I have experience in graphic design for both digital and print media, I’m specifically interested in poster design, cover art, and merch design.

I was a graphic designer for Grain of Salt magazine, and created spreads to be published in their physical zines, and graphics for their social media. I also have experience creating logo and merch design for musicians such as genre-bending solo act “Miguel Y Miguel Y Miguel,” and Indie/Alternative-Regional Mexican band “Los Juanos.” I am proficient in the Adobe Creative suite, and love textures!

Outside of design, I’ve exhibited my own work at ICOSA Collective, the Museum of Human Achievement (MoHA), and at the Visual Arts Center in UT Austin.

I have a deep interest for cyborgs, Barbies, and Troll dolls. I hope to collaborate with you!
