Hello, hola, bonjour!
Hello, hola, bonjour!
I’m a Guatemalan-born, Midwest-based designer who thrives on problem-solving through bold ideas, thoughtful storytelling, and asking questions. With a background in fine arts, design, and marketing, I bring a strategic and creative approach to any project that I’m a part of.
Currently, I design user-centric software for workers in the engineering industry, helping improve workflows across office, field, and lab environments. My work is driven by curiosity, collaboration, and a commitment to creating intuitive, human-centered experiences.
Outside of design, you’ll find me exploring new restaurants, tending to my kitties & plants as well as , practicing yoga, or planning my next travel adventure.
