Create with the heart; build with the mind.
MY WORK
Every single profession, in fact every single act that I perform, is in some way related to happiness. I become happier as a designer, doing what I love to do most and making people happy with my work.
​
I am looking for problems to solve. I am looking to innovate and dream and search for anything but business as usual. I am a high performer who’s an expert at my craft, constantly challenging the status quo. I value inclusivity and want to join a culture that empowers me to show up as my authentic self. I know that success hinges on commitment, that our differences make us stronger, and that the finish line is always sweeter when the whole team crosses together.
Senior Digital Multimedia Designer
I view myself as a design Swiss Army Knife and my superpower is creative flexibility. With my extensive B2B and B2C tech experience, I love working side by side with managers, PMs, clients directly, and team members (in English and Spanish) to deliver on-brand designs across marketing and other corporate functions.
Love working on everything from PowerPoints and e-books to large-format event graphics, flyers, infographics, video post-production and animated web banners and GIFs, as well as being able to design, translate and proof all material to native Latin American Spanish. I help develop and package new creative concepts such as ad campaigns, creative guides for events, and manage internal sites. I help/lead in implementation, help establish systems and processes.
While highly creative, I am also organized and client-minded. I provide direction and a point of view on creative requests. A natural problem-solver and driven to learn, researching how to get things done when something new hits my queue and proposing new tools that keep your creative toolset modern and efficient.
I love spelling new ideas always. Not shy about sharing new design approaches to projects. I work hand-in-hand with colleagues across content, PR, events, and social and contribute to a positive and fun work environment.
Strong knowledge of Asana, Monday.com, Basecamp, Adobe Creative Suite and Figma as well as working knowledge and best practices of PowerPoint, Keynote, and Word. Absolutely love animation and video platforms such as Adobe After Effects, Animate and Premiere.
