There I am, 8 or 9 years old, eagerly awaiting my first trip to the ocean. I don’t remember much about the trip itself, but I vividly remember imagining lost kingdoms, mermaids, and enchanted treasures. I was already creating stories.
That curiosity never left me. In 1997, I discovered Star Wars and immediately knew I wanted to be a designer. At 14, I applied to Lucasfilm—no response—but the spark was there.
Since then, I’ve worked a variety of jobs—landscaping, pest control, cleaning services, librarian, security guard. These roles may seem unrelated to design, but they taught me empathy, problem-solving, and the value of seeing things from different perspectives—critical skills that now shape my design thinking.
At 26, I entered the design world, and since then, I've had the privilege of working with brands like Hershey’s, AT&T, Sharpie, Dr. Pepper, and Lone Star. Through it all, that childlike curiosity has remained my driving force, pushing me to explore new ideas, solve problems, and connect with audiences in unexpected ways. I’m ready to create something great for you.
