About

I am a Visual Artist, Illustrator, Fashion Designer and Fine Art Painter. My work integrates a decade of painting ability in oil, acrylic, and watercolor techniques with experience in the technological world. With my background as a control systems specialist, I translate the rigors of high-precision control systems engineering into the fluid world of visual art. The union between my artistic skills and the analytical engineering path brings a unique blend of creativity and craftsmanship to my practice as a painter, illustrator, and fashion designer.

My background in complex systems within large international organizations has cultivated an excellent capacity to collaborate with cross-functional teams remotely in multicultural environments. My coordination roles have developed a rigorous commitment to milestone delivery and the ability to solve intricate visual and structural challenges, refining my written and verbal communication. Moreover, senior experience in software control systems provides the mathematical and algorithmic foundation to master complex AI creative tools. I bridge complex structural logic with harmonic expression, I am deeply interested in the evolution of visual storytelling at the intersection of traditional fine art and AI-driven workflows, and I am currently seeking to contribute advanced technical and artistic skills within a forward-thinking creative team.

Born from the intersection of my past in astronomical physics and my future in design, Shadow Play is a study of contrast. This collection translates the behavior of light and void into wearable forms. By combining traditional fine art painting with rigorous technical drafting, I aim to create garments that capture the ephemeral nature of a shadow through structured tailoring and fluid silhouettes.
