I am an Indigenous creative designer who facilitates digital communication through thoughtful, culturally resonant, and cohesive visual solutions. My practice bridges strategic design with storytelling across branding, typography, and illustration.
Growing up in Los Angeles, I have witnessed both the resilience and inequities that shape our communities. These experiences deeply inform my design approach. Cultivating relationships, fostering compassion, and creating work that serves the broader community is central to my passion. I research, craft, and guide every project with deep intentionality.
Professionally trained as a graphic designer at California State University, Northridge (2015-2020), I leverage a multidisciplinary skill set to solve complex visual problems. Art and design are where I feel most myself—an open space to experiment, iterate, and build meaningful visual worlds.
I believe that true creative justice begins in the first person—by clearly stating who I am and where I stand. I carry a multi-layered Central American and Mexican heritage. I carry maternal roots from Kushultepet (Cojutepeque, El Salvador) within the historical landscape of Kuskatan, alongside a paternal heritage tied to the rancho of Túpátaro (Huandacareo, Michoacán).
As a creative designer, I operate within the urban core of East Hollywood, established upon the unceded ancestral lands and waterways of the Gabrielino-Tongva and the Fernandeño Tataviam peoples collectively. My practice honors this lineage not through performative gestures, but through active creative, spatial, and typographic sovereignty. The visual systems I engineer are permanently bound to the soil and history of this basin.
Thank you!
