I was born and raised in México, where I lived a very happy life with my parents and 3 siblings. I never really considered living in the U.S. until I decided to study Graphic Design, it was very clear to me that moving to the U.S. would be better for my career.

Being away from my nuclear family has been hard, specially in my formative years, but I was determined to create a life that made sense to me and that allowed a lot of self exploration. Living here helped me achieve that.

Now, almost 20 years after I moved to the U.S., I can finally say that I’m happy where I am and excited for where I’m heading. 💋

I was born and raised in México until I moved to El Paso, Texas to pursue a college degree. Most of my family lives in México to this day and I visit them every year.

After college I moved to NYC for work. I lived there 6 years, found my passion for advocacy, met and worked with amazing people that inspired my next chapter. I moved back to Texas where I now live in Austin.

I’ve spent 10 years working in digital media andexperience strategy and I’m taking a break from it all to start my own wellness brand.

I was raised in a border town in México. My life experiences there were half Mexican, half American. I learned English by watching TV.

I consumed a great deal of pop culture growing up. My dad was a big fan of American movies, which definitely guided me on my taste for Sci-Fi and source materials I still reference for work purposes! (they just thought all that movie watching and re-watching was rotting my brain 😉).

I currently enjoy Art Directing for entertainment brands (big surprise!). But my greatest hope is that while I help create something beautiful, I can also support my peers. The people that I work with is what is most important to me. They are what makes the perfect recipe for creativity.

I was born in San Antonio but my first hometown was Monterrey, México. My dad worked in road construction all across México and oftentimes, my mom and I would follow. So I’ve gotten experience a lot of México in a very unique way.

We moved to San Antonio when I was 6 and it was a huge sacrifice my parents took that fuels me every day to push forward so I can create the life I want for myself and my loved ones.

I graduated from UTSA with a double major in American Literature and Mexican American Studies.

I’ve spent the last few years as a copywriter and have fallen in love with the way it has reacquainted me with the power of words.
