ABOUT
I’m a Black Dominican American born & raised in Miami-Dade County. I’ve been a creative working with my hands my whole life. I got into the arts as a self-taught traditional visual artist.
Originally Art was plan B! Plan A was becoming a general surgeon. Then at some point, my love for the human anatomy worked its way into my works. In a way, I’m like a surgeon, dissecting, & exploring the human body.
EDUCATION
I got my BFA in Visual Arts from MIU (AI). That’s when I got introduced to the fundamentals of digital media, graphic design, & advertising. Thanks to those advertising classes, I decided to get my M.A. in Marketing from FIU, strengthening my knowledge of digital marketing, analytics, & branding. Then, I got my MA in Illustration from SCAD, focusing on conceptual visual comms for editorials & advertising.

When I create a campaign, I make sure I use a minimum of three sensory elements as possible. Using multiple sensory elements can increase the engagement rates of your campaign.
