Born in the Dominican Republic, I moved to the U.S. at nine, carrying with me a love for creativity that has been a guiding force in my life. My Christian faith shapes how I see the world—I believe we’re all creators, designed to use our gifts to make the world more beautiful.
I
earned my associate's degree in Mass
Communication from Miami Dade Honors
College, then pursued my bachelor's degree in Visual Media Arts with a concentration in film at Emerson College. During my last semester, I had the incredible opportunity to intern with Good Universe in LA, where I gained hands-on experience in Physical Production.
In 2015, I
moved to
Atlanta and
began my career in film, working on independent projects as a producer, writer, and 1st assistant director. I also assisted in larger productions for companies like Netflix, Gold Bond, and political campaigns for Stacey Abrams. Eventually, my focus shifted to graphic design, where I built brands for small businesses and contributed to internal projects in companies like Michael Kors. Today, I work as a freelance brand and web designer, while also serving as a UX/UI and Conversational AI designer at Instacart, blending creativity with tech innovation.
I’m passionate about living life to the fullest, whether that’s traveling, dancing, spending time with loved ones, or giving back through volunteer work abroad. Overall, I have a love for artistic expression, personal growth, and connecting with others in meaningful ways.
