Aged

Born in Los Angeles, I grew up in an intense and culturally rich family of newly emigrated Mexicans, absolutely drenched in pride. Spanish is my first language, and language and culture is bedrock. My family took this approach passionately, and quickly grew a highly successful Spanish language advertising agency, which targeted the Hispanic Market in Los Angeles. Naturally, I grew up paying close attention to which brands got you to look, think, who was just selling, and who was inspiring so much more, launching my own determination to take it further.

Seasoned

As most young queers coming into themselves do, I spent my late teens and early 20s bouncing around a lot, taking opportunities to study abroad in Italy, Mexico, and exotic Northridge, California, before settling back into LA and taking an opportunity to work at American Apparel HQ where I began a15 year career in fashion and lifestyle marketing and events. Later, I came back to the only school that felt like home, ArtCenter College of Design to complete a BFA in Advertising/Creative Direction. There I refined and added some serious art chops to serve up a feast for the eyes and psyche which you can sample here. Bon Apetit!
