Bio

I'm a designer passionate about technology, art, and human psychology. Currently, I'm pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Interaction Design at Santa Monica College.

I was born and raised in Costa Rica, and my journey in design began eight years ago as a freelance graphic designer, where I honed my skills across diverse projects of different scopes. Through my academic and professional experiences, I've developed a comprehensive skill set in UX design and research, branding, digital illustration, motion graphics, and photography. My design philosophy revolves around creating meaningful and intuitive experiences, but beyond my professional pursuits, I'm constantly exploring new ways to merge creativity with functionality.
