I build brands, design pages (both digital and print), and edit video. My current role is in commercial real estate as the Creative Manager at Stream Realty's Houston office, but I started out freelancing for small businesses that needed someone to make their ideas look and feel like something real.

My approach to design comes from visiting Oaxaca, where I learned about the art of carving alebrijes. Alebrijes are brightly painted wooden creatures, a Mexican folk-art tradition. What stuck with me was the process: artisans work with branches of copal wood, often cut by someone else. The branches arrive at the artist's table already bent, twisted, and full of character. The artist doesn't force a shape onto the wood, they carve and carve until the wood reveals what it wants to become.
