I’m a Graphic Designer and Video Editor with 10+ years of experience in the Advertising, Tech, and Media industries. After a decade in the corporate world, I left the cubicle to travel, create, and focus on work that inspires me. Along the way, I expanded my skills beyond design—exploring filmmaking, motion graphics, industrial design, and app development. This mix of creative disciplines helps me bring fresh ideas and clear visual storytelling to every project. I grew up in California and Massachusetts, and have lived in Germany, Thailand, Chile, and Argentina. I’m fluent in Spanish and conversational in German, and I’m comfortable collaborating across cultures and time zones.

I have played music for well over 20 years, spending 11 of those years teaching private lessons on various instruments, all after getting my degree in studio music and jazz from the University of Miami Frost School of Music. I have used Logic Pro X daily since 2014, both for passion projects and freelance work. Since COVID, I've been teaching remote music lessons as well as leasing my music to multiple indie films and creating DJ mixes and mashups for various events.
