Hey oh! 👋

Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, I spent most of my childhood immersed in the world of dance and cinema and the art of “the mixtape.” Inspired by Mexican and Chicano revolutionary visual artists, I went on to study social work and documentary film & media studies.

The crux of my work is storytelling and I embrace every possible communication tool — I use everything from video to UI to social media infographics. I am committed to social justice and I wholeheartedly believe in the transformative power of art & technology.

But Who AM I Really…?

I was voted most likely to be caught in the living room wearing a Snuggie by my Co-Op at UC Berkeley
I cried actual tears when the Muppet Whatnot Workshop closed down
I love Carl Sagan in a very REAL not ironic way
My mental health can be measured by what song is playing in my head when I wake up (There was a month when Too Legit to Quit was on repeat! Needless to say, that was a damn good month)
I believe that any dip in confidence can be fixed by winged eyeliner & a pair of gold hoops
My favorite thing in the world is to build things from the ground up! when I am in the creative flow, the walls in my office become covered in sticky notes. my friends lovingly refer to it as “the detective/serial killer wall”
