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 until the wood tells them what it wants to become.
