About 

I'm a multidisciplinary designer with experience in brand identity, illustration, graphic design, furniture design, exhibit design, and interior design.
Originally from Helotes, TX, I ventured to New York to attend Pratt Institute in Brooklyn to work toward my BFA in Interior Design.

While studying at Pratt, I participated in many cross-discipline courses, studios, and competitions both in individual and team settings--spanning on topics in breadth between fashion, furniture,prototyping, architecture, ceramics, painting and photography.

To further dive into the world of design, in 2010, I studied Interior Architekture in Copenhagen, Denmark, with a special topics course in European Urban Design Theory.

After graduating from Pratt in 2011, I began work as the In-House Designer for ducduc LLC., where I was responsible for maintaining two luxury brands.

I recently relocated to Los Angeles, California in search of new design opportunies and perspectives.
