As a first-generation Mexican-American student, my heritage and experiences deeply influence my creativity and drive as a designer. I’ve always been drawn to art in its many forms, from sketching to creating pottery to making jewelry. I enjoy using my hands in my free time to create whatever I can imagine.

Besides creating, I love traveling— seeing new places and getting to experience new cultures and meet new people is something I deeply enjoy. I think it is important to try new things so I make it a point to try and experience at least one new thing each trip, whether it be ATV riding, or cold plunging.

I am also a big concertgoer, having been to 20 concerts in the last 2 years! I believe music is essential part of our lives as it helps connect us with people from all walks of life. The immersive energy of live performances inspires me to create designs that evoke emotion, foster connection, and enhance experiences—whether through products, spaces, or interactive elements.
