About

Born in Chicago, I moved to my parent’s native Guatemala at the age of one where I spend most of childhood. As I moved back to Chicago in my teen years I enrolled in programs like Gallery 37, Lookingglasss, and Marwen as way to improve my English and develop my passion for art.

About my work
Although my background is in fine art, I always found a strong fascination for photography. Four years ago I enrolled in the Visual Communications program at the Illinois institute of Art, where I discovered a new way to combine my passion for photography, fine art, and bringing the idea of design to the table. Graphic design became a great way of merging all that I have learned and putting it to use.
