My mission, values, & the passionate Latina Woman behind the screen.

What you SHould know


I was born and raised in New Jersey and moved to New York City during high school. Growing up, I loved watching anime and cartoons, which really sparked my passion for storytelling and cool visuals. That interest led me to explore animation, where I learned a lot about design and how to communicate ideas through motion. Over time, I got more excited about UI and UX design because it lets me use both my creative side and problem-solving skills to build apps and websites that people enjoy using. Now I’m a senior at Lehman College studying Computer Graphics and Imaging, and I’m excited to keep combining creativity and technology to make digital experiences that feel easy and fun for everyone.

When I’m not designing, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring nature, and staying active through fitness. I’m a coffee enthusiast who loves finding cozy spots to unwind. My lifelong love of cartoons fuels my creativity and sense of play, while cinema inspires my passion for storytelling. These interests keep me energized and inspire my work every day.
