Hi! I'm a first-gen college student, born and raised in Puerto Rico, but now living in San Diego — just a couple miles from Tijuana, where I also lived for the past three years with my partner. Currently attending San Diego State University, in pursuit of a B.A. in Graphic Design. I currently work full-time, while also being a full-time student. I hope to graduate in May 2024 and begin my career as a graphic designer. My wish is to find a position at a studio whose clients focus on social and political issues and to be able to help them spread their message. I would also like to help minority-owned businesses (especially food businesses) to distinguish themselves through their branding so that they may be able to compete and thrive by serving authentic cuisine from their respective cultures. I have done a couple of freelance projects for friends, and it's something that I wish to continue doing. I love to explore, travel, and photograph my surroundings in my free time, which I wish to pursue outside of my career path. I feel that I've had unique life experiences, and I want to tell those stories through my photography, and I also wish to incorporate that perspective into my work as a designer.
