hi, my name is

I was born in San Francisco & raised in the Bay Area. I found drawing at an early age and began to study art & design in high school. Throughout community college, I expanded my creative skill set, exploring different media, gaining publication & gallery experience, and interning as a graphic designer. I am now working to attain a BA in design studies with a focus in graphic design at San José State University.

My style centers itself on culture, analyzing how it influences identity. My goal is to translate shared experience through design, as I continue to find fulfillment in understanding others & allowing them to see themselves in my work.
