I work really hard.
Welcome to my playground where I work hard and play hard.
I’m a designer from Austin, TX, currently serving as Creative Director at Spectrum Science, a global agency specializing in health and sciences. I’m fortunate to help lead talented teams and cultivate a design-centered environment. I’m passionate about energizing brands through visually stunning designs and creative storytelling. I wrote an article about design + storytelling a while back for PR News. Take a look at it here. I absolutely love that I get to do what I love for my 9–5.

I play hard, too.
Fine arts have been a big part of my life from an early age.
I have vivid memories of several “family talent shows” when, armed with a hairbrush-turned-microphone, I would perform in front of my people. It was my way of expressing myself, of letting my voice be heard. And then seconds later, I would retreat to the sanctuary of my room and delve into the world of drawing and crafting—sketching my beloved stuffed animals and characters from favorite Disney movies.
As I grew up, so did my artistic abilities and talent. I eventually found myself on stage in large music halls and behind a computer screen creating designs. Over the years I’ve enjoyed building legos, dance parties with my family, photography, painting, collaging, and more. All forms of art fuel me—they shape my perspective and bring me immense joy. My journey will continue as a lifelong student of art, always craving and exploring more on the playground of creativity.
Enjoy the play with me.
