Hello!

Check out my resume!

Thanks for visiting! I am an accomplished Creative Director specializing in graphic and motion design, with a proven ability to lead high-performing teams in broadcast, digital, and live event industries. As the Creative Director of Design at NewsNation, the nation’s fastest growing cable and digital news outlet, I successfully manage teams delivering high-impact design solutions for 25+ live major network launches and digital rebranding, significantly improving audience engagement. I combine hands-on creative skills with strategic leadership and a passion for mentoring emerging talent, backed by a history of curriculum creation and instruction at leading Chicago colleges.

I began my career as a motion and graphic designer in commercial post production where I worked for the top post production houses in Chicago such as Swell and Avenue Edit. Along the way I design and animated media for news and other commercial advertising outlets. I then spent six years art directing and leading a motion design department creating live experiences for corporate clients before moving back to broadcast work at WGN America that soon became NewsNation and the rest is history!

In addition to my commercial work, I am an educator and mentor. Over the course of my 23 years of education experience, I have designed curriculum for classes in typography, image manipulation and motion design at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Columbia College and The Illinois Institute of Art-Chicago.

Outside of my design and education career, I am a painter specializing in in wedding portraits and guest illustration. For my personal practice I explore figurative painting and drawing. I often incorporate my expertise and talents in motion design and animation with figurative work. My pieces have been shown at several art shows and events in Chicago.

I was born in Mexico City, grew up in the Chicago suburbs and have lived in the city of Chicago most of my adult life.
