Welcome!

An artist and graphic designer born and raised in the Little Village area of Chicago, I began my pursuit of the arts from a very young age observing the artwork displayed in the murals around the city and creative visuals displayed in billboards and wheat-pasted posters. Now as a graduate from the University of Illinois at Chicago, earning a Bachelors Degree in Graphic Design I continue to be inspired by the visuals I saw as a kid and incorporate my own style that derives from my Mexican American culture.

I create my visuals in a variety of ways, whether it be from drawing and painting, to using Adobe programs such as Illustrator and Photoshop or a combination of both. I continue to explore the possibilities of creating and building in the realm of design.
