OPEN FOR WORK
A creative studio bringing brands closer to the people they’re meant to serve.
I hate a box
I have never fit especially well into one despite constantly being told who to be, what to want, and how to show up. Lucky for me, being Queer, Latinx, and naturally defiant (I am a Taurus) has shaped me to pay attention to the gap between how people are described when someone wants to sell to them and who they actually are.
That’s why I do this.
I help brands slow down, look closer, and make intentional choices that feel true to who they are and meaningful to the people they’re trying to reach.
Sometimes that means directing. Sometimes designing, strategizing, or writing. Whatever the work needs to move beyond superficial and closer to something really fucking cool.

Brand Strategy & Art Direction for The Super Cool*
When your brand has something to say but hasn’t quite figured out how to say it or keeps sounding suspiciously like everyone else.
Brand Strategy
If you have a campaigns, launches, photoshoots, or brand refreshes that need a point of view people can connect with.I shape the visual direction, direct the work, and bring in the right creative partners when the idea needs more hands.
Art Direction
If you need someone to come in and get deeply curious, uncover overlooked opportunities, and shape more inclusive brand and creative decisions I’m your gay! If you’re looking for someone to bring you all the answer (and I mean this with love), this is not a safe space for you.
Consulting
*Founders and brands with something real to say and no interest in looking/sounding/producing like everyone else.
