I’m glad you’re here!
I believe the ideation and wonder stage is the most pivotal part of the design process. It’s where you ask questions and learn about the problem, your audience, and even yourself.

Vulnerability Pool
These social media graphics, using the "Pool of Vulnerability" analogy, guide Expert Generalist's clients in finding the best level of openness for productive and comfortable conversations.
Lyric Riso Animation
Struggling with creative overload, I channeled FKA Twigs' "Which Way" and a RISO animation workshop led by Kelli Anderson into a digital-analog editorial animation that embraces the beauty of imperfections and ambiguity.
Progress Texas Merch
Y’all Means All! Progress Texas, a non-profit championing progressive causes, asked me to create a vibrant and inclusive graphic for their LGBTQ+ Pride merch. This project took me on a journey from classic Texan iconography to a powerful statement that celebrates everyone.
Confidentiality Reminders
These simple, direct graphics create small nudges to drive behavioral change and were prompted out of a confidentiality risk that Broadcat’s customers commonly experienced.
Branded Vendor Collateral
See the inspiration for my design of Broadcat’s own Chinese seal that reads “Do the right thing” in simplified Chinese, which continues to be one of Broadcat’s most requested shirts to this day!
Queer MPB Zine
Musica Popular Brasileira in the 60’s but make it queer (it always was). I grew up listening to Brazilian popular music but it wasn’t until later in life that I learned many of my favorite artists like Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, and Adriana Calcanhotto were queer.
Emotions Wheel Circle Book
This mini circle book book expresses the fluidity, fragility, and sometimes impracticality of our emotions. It is meant to be touched, read, flipped through, and held by a ribbon for safekeeping. Hang it on a wall, put it on a shelf with other trinkets, keep it in your desk. It’s there for you when you need it.
A Problem with Authority Zine
A zine recounting of a recurring nightmare from my childhood, and its influence on my relationship to authority today. In this zine, I question the lack of responsibility on authority figures to create a space where everyone is safe and able to communicate their needs. I believe I had this dream as a child because I felt unable to do so, and in turn became a compulsive rule-follower.
Compliance Icon System
Our goal was to establish a visual language used in compliance teams across companies, industries, and languages, making it easier for employees to understand how to do the right thing at work. Our team encountered challenges that we were able to overcome by defining our goals and setting constraints early on.
Emoetry Zine
This zine is a collection of existential ramblings, rants, and ruminations written throughout my twenties as I worked through questions around identity and trauma. I write about my inspiration for writing and designing this zine, and some of the process that went into making it.
Infographic Design Strategy
Infographics help us digest new info because our brains respond to pictures. But there’s more to designing them than just putting a bunch of images next to words. A few tips from my B2B experience and observations in the wild detail the scenarios to help you design an infographic that’s tailored to your audience—whether it’s a flowchart, checklist, or contrasting examples!
Saudade Photo Essay
I have a deep obsession with nostalgia. This photo series represents my own personal exploration for the right balance between fixation on the past and living in the present. I chose a handful of candid moments from my childhood that provoked strong memories, and visited each of the homes and tried to recreate the scenes.
