ARTIST & ACTIVIST.
ENGLISH & SPANISH.
I have experience designing in nonprofit and corporate settings, in the US and Spain, and in English and Spanish. I care deeply about using design to create social and environmental justice, as well as using languages to make ideas, brands, products, services, and resources accessible to more people. I’m an artist (drawing was my very first love), an activist (queer justice, antiracism, reproductive justice, you name it), a writer, and bilingual - all of which makes me a stronger designer.
In my free time, I love baking challah and other Jewish carbs, playing music, knitting, traveling with my wonderful partner in our camper van, and circus arts!
I use they/she pronouns (interchangeably, please).
IT’S LOVELY TO MEET YOU!
IN WORKING FOR SOCIAL & ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, GRAPHIC DESIGN IS MY BEST TOOL.
