Hey, you.
It may be curious to some that I stop to examine scribbles on concrete, collect napkins with monograms, and screenshot random websites for my collection of UI patterns— it all stems from my love of type and ardor for design that has propelled me into my career as creative.
Having lived in São Paulo, Denver, Miami, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, I carry my multicultered and popcorned background close to my heart and hand, weaving various cultural influences throughout my works and inspirations. I find the relationship between psychological theories and the communicative arts intriguing and in need of a face-lift. As messengers, designers hold the key to influencing audiences, and with my work, I hope to inspire change and somehow make a difference within my communities, no matter how big or small.
I am mac-powered designer working across brand identity, visual strategy and systems design. I'm currently a Visual Designer at R/GA with a B.F.A in Graphic Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
If I'm not in front of my screens, you can find me dancing, stuffing myself at various food trucks, ear-budded at a local coffee shop, or bent over a sidewalk trying to take a photo of a stenciled ad.
If you'd like to chat or meet, feel free to reach out to me and if you have an album or song to share, even better.
