Nice to meet you!
Some of my story is a classic; I was the art kid in high school. Medium of choice? Oil paints. When I got to college, I decided to major in graphic design for job security. After college, I stopped making art, but I continued to utilize my illustration skillset in my design work.
In 2019, I got diagnosed with OCD, which was the catalyst that pushed me to draw and paint again. I started sketching a lot in 2021, and by 2024, I had opened a small online shop, where I sold stickers inspired by my Mexican-American culture.
For the last 8 years, I have been a professional graphic designer. In January of this year, I decided to face my fears and take the leap of faith to pursue my art/illustration dreams! I can’t wait to create something together.

I started a YouTube channel, wanting to record my art process and journey. The hope is for it to be an authentic place where other artists can see my journey and feel encouraged to follow their creative dreams.
