What I'm looking for

I'm looking to create audience-centered visual communication across brand, print, digital, and exhibition projects, ideally in a role that connects design with arts programming, cultural organizations, or community engagement.

I create visual systems, exhibition materials, and public-facing content that connect creative vision with practical execution. My work spans brand identity, typography, publication design, print production, and digital and social media assets.

At Montalvo Arts Center, I completed the Marcus Curatorial Fellowship, blending graphic design with exhibition management and public art programming. I designed collateral, signage, promotional materials, digital assets, publication layouts, and visual identity elements for exhibitions and events.

I co-curated From Their Hands To Ours with MACLA, managing artist coordination, installation schedules, logistics, and timelines while co-authoring and designing its printed publication. I also coordinated interdisciplinary collaborators for A Path Forward: Honoring Ohlone Land & Spirit, including its AR activations and permanent installation.

I've also created packaging, marketing, social, and digital assets for Nutribullet / Magic Bullet; interactive learning materials for Sephora; and campus communications for Whittier College. Alongside freelance and community work, I bring experience supporting artists, arts organizations, and businesses with accessible, audience-centered visual communication.
