My interests are many...
Have you heard of the term "multipotentialite"? Probably not - but that's me. Multipotentialite describes individuals who are endlessly intrigued by a variety of people and things. Not long ago, I watched this Ted Talk and everything just clicked. I am curious by nature and fascinated by different cultures, new ideas and understanding the processes that make the world go 'round.





...my background is diverse.
I was born in San Sebastian, Spain, and grew up in Venezuela and Colombia. After I graduated high school, my mother and I came to the United States and lived in Denver, Colorado. I attended and graduated from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, with a degree in Graphic Design and Communications.
I've lived in Des Moines for 15 years! And as a current Iowa resident, I am passionate about being a voice and advocating for minorities and underserved populations, and make sure we celebrate the diversity they bring to our communities.

This combination allows me to produce fresh ideas and a thoughtful approach.
​
I've lived in three different countries, speak multiple languages, and have a wide range of interests. This combined allows me to look at every situation as a unique opportunity. I like to put myself in others' shoes, and I enjoy studying what motivates people. I believe all these things collectively gives me the advantage of understanding how to visually communicate concepts effectively for a variety of audiences.
