my story

From my early years in high school, I developed a deep connection to drawing. What started as putting pencil to paper evolved into a visual language of patterns, bold colors, and a curiosity for interpreting the world around me. Over the past 15 years, that curiosity has grown into a creative practice spanning illustration, graphic design, painting, exhibitions, and public art—and, honestly, a wealth of superpowers.

​

I went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design from Bellevue College, where I studied experiential design, architectural elements, design philosophy, and the many ways environments can shape how we feel, connect, and experience the world. 

​

For a while, I thought I was destined to become a chingona (badass) interior designer in Los Angeles. Little did I know that was only the beginning—that the creative seed I was nurturing had a lot more growing to do.

​

Today, I’m a marketing professional with nearly a decade of experience in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. My work lives at the intersection of strategy and creativity: translating complex information into clear, persuasive messaging and stories people can actually connect with.

​

Outside of work, I’ve supported projects that strengthen community programs throughout King County—from expanding access to healthy, affordable food to celebrating culture and building resilience alongside community-based organizations and low-income families. Across these projects, I’ve brought my creative lens to custom graphic design and illustration, using visual storytelling to give ideas a little more life.

What I enjoy most is finding the story behind a project—understanding the soul purpose and shaping that into a narrative that resonates with people.

 

Outside of work, I'm an illustrator and emerging public artist. My creative practice includes illustration, graphic design, painting, gallery exhibitions, and public art. I enjoy exploring how visual storytelling can foster connection and contribute to vibrant communities. I'm always interested in connecting with professionals working in marketing, creative strategy, and the arts. 

​

I’m still nurturing that original creative seed, letting it grow in directions I never could have predicted. These days, I’m less interested in defining where it ends and more interested in seeing how far it can grow. The possibilities feel limitless.
