CREATIVE STATEMENT
Across digital and traditional mediums, my work is characterized by expressive line work and vibrant, limited color palettes. I have created editorial illustrations for long-form content including publications, podcasts, and book covers. I additionally have experience creating educational, how-to illustrations.
As designer at major tech companies, I was labeled “The Color Expert” given my expertise in color theory, palettes, and composition; all of which are directly attributed to my illustration experience. With a over a decade of professional experience as an illustrator, I have a proven history of delivering on time, iterative and enthusiastic collaboration, and making high quality work.

Q&A
Which publication does a great job at using illustrations?
Little White Lies, an independent film magazine out of the UK, consistently features stunning illustrations. Fast Company and Wired also commission gorgeous pieces that also serve as entry-points to complex topics in business and tech. I’m also a huge fan of NYT Opinion and NYT Book Review for similar reasons! Podcasts and indie publications are also commissioning some incredible, boundary-pushing work.
What topic do you most enjoy illustrating about?
I enjoy illustrating complex topics that might seem intimidating to a reader, and making them feel exciting and approachable. I’ve created illustrations about corporate personhood, the 2008 financial crisis, the human side of supply chains and a 450-page novel; I truly feel like I can tackle anything. I also stay up to date on the news and pop culture (maybe too much!) and love to create snapshots of our current moment. As a queer, hispanic woman, I also enjoy illustrating stories and issues close to my community’s heart.
What magazine cover do you want your illustration to be on?
Any of the ones above would be an absolute dream!
