I work really hard.
Welcome to my playground—where passion meets play.
I’m a designer based in Austin, TX, and currently VP, Group Creative Director at Spectrum Science—a global health and science agency. I lead talented teams and foster a design-driven culture, bringing brands to life through bold visuals and compelling storytelling. I even wrote about the power of design + storytelling for PR News—check it out here. I feel lucky to do what I love every day.

I play hard, too.
Fine arts have shaped me since childhood.
Some of my earliest memories are of “family talent shows,” performing with a hairbrush mic in hand, then retreating to my room to draw Disney characters and stuffed animals. It was my way of expressing myself—through both performance and quiet creation.
As I grew, so did my passion for art. From building Legos and dancing with my family to photography, painting, and design, I’ve explored countless creative outlets. Art shapes how I see the world and brings me joy. I’ll always be a student of it—curious, evolving, and at home on the playground of creativity.
Enjoy the play with me.
