I am a visual communications strategist and graphic designer with over 10 years of experience, developing inclusive and impactful design for mission-driven organizations across the United States, Latin America, and Europe. My work connects visual storytelling, cultural representation, environmental stewardship and human-centered design to uplift projects focused on equity, social justice, and community engagement. I specialize in transforming complex narratives into accessible, visually compelling forms of communication that resonate across languages, cultures, and audiences.
Throughout my career, I’ve collaborated with nonprofits, cultural institutions, and advocacy campaigns that place underrepresented communities and the natural world at the center: from shaping environmental storytelling at Bay Nature Institute, to designing inclusive educational and fundraising campaigns in Spain, as well as leading visual identity strategies at cultural institutions like SFJAZZ and the Oakland Museum of California. At the heart of this work is a belief that design can be a prism reflecting myriad possibilities; by making communication accessible, culturally relevant, and rooted in the realities of the communities it serves. I lead with observation and research, shaping visual strategies that reflect the people and places I design for.
With a global perspective shaped by my immigrant experience and working in across borders, I believe in using visual communication as a catalyst for connection with others contexts and experiences, encouraging community participation and cultural resilience.

Magical Movements
Master’s Thesis | 2020
Magical Movements is a Tarot card activity designed to connect participants with the experiences of displaced migrants. It serves as a tool to encourage reflection, self-awareness, and imagination about various possible futures.
The project aims to build empathy for migrant realities and highlight their resilience and knowledge in times of crisis. It presents a strategy that brings together inclusive narratives to help both participants and migrants see things from a shared perspective.
- Using Tarot as a research tool, the project challenges traditional ways of understanding and promotes the idea of relational knowledge. This approach questions established categories and hierarchies that often shape our environment in a one-sided and dominant way.
Magical Movements is developed through a decolonized platform that combines various design disciplines, including strategic, speculative, social, ethnographic, and graphic design. The activity weaves together migrant stories, human psychology, and Tarot’s worldview, inviting participants to recognize localized knowledge and explore their own potential.
