Welcome!!! I am a bilingual Creative Director based in Brooklyn, with roots in Los Angeles. 


I think of creative storytelling as an opportunity to shake up visual norms inspired by my experiences growing up skateboarding and painting murals in Los Angeles. In my professional creative career, having received accolades in advertising, I bring energy and passion to engaging narratives that present innovations in technology, fashion, and design fields. 


With over a decade of experience working with clients nationally and internationally, I play a lead role to develop creative strategies, encourage collaboration, and deliver user-centered campaigns. My career started with graphic design and expanded into motion graphics, video editing, production, and user interfaces, and now includes AI. 


I’m driven by opportunities to mentor talent, foster inclusive spaces for creativity, and be part of diverse and cutting-edge teams. I oversee creative teams from concept to execution and collaborate with production, marketing, strategy, dev, and social media teams to turn bold ideas into tangible outcomes for clients.


Let's disrupt the status quo with chaotic modernism.
