I'm a first-gen Mexican-American designer from East Los Angeles currently based in Brooklyn. Growing up in East LA, I was raised by a community of Latinos who taught me the true meaning of hustle, grit, heart and the beauty of people just trying to make a living. That environment deeply shaped who I am as a person, and it's the lens I carry into everything I make.

I've spent most of my life a student of anything creative, whether art, design or cooking. I've always immersed myself deeply in the act of making things just for the sake of creating. I didn't necessarily set out with a grand plan to make a career out of it, I just wanted to create. I feel lucky that following that instinct eventually landed me into a position to make a living from it.

That journey led me to start as an intern at Hulu. It evolved into an 8 year run at Snap, where I built a multidisciplinary career, moving through Visual Design and Art Direction into Product. These days, I’m a Senior Product Designer at Yahoo, focusing on accessible, human-centered design.

I don't believe in design that exists in a vaccum. Being a child of immigrants, I care deeply about inclusivity and building things that feel human. It's at the root of who I am and how I often find myself designing.

I’m always open to conversation about design, food, and everything in between. If you want to chat or think I’m fit for a role you’re working on, don’t hesitate to reach out.
