Born and raised in the sunny Dominican Republic, I lived the dream by getting my bachelor's degree in Visual Communications at Farmingdale State College, in LI, New York. There I discovered diversity, multi-cultural approaches, wanderlust, research and started to see what's the meaning of design in our daily lives, and I want to keep looking for better ways to improve the Design Culture in Dominican Republic.
I have experience in Digital (Social Media, UX-UI, web layouts, digital advertising) and Print (book jackets, posters, book layouts, offset printing) design. I love Illustration, wall art and conceptualization art, but I can say that my forte is definitely Branding. Branding is so important, that we don't realize that we are surrounded by it. We are a branding ourselves. I love to help others to discover the personality, sensibility and cultural relevance of their brand, and recreate it graphically. We can do magic working together!
I'm always looking to show the world the freedom of freedom of mind and possibilities, through graphic design.
