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.

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.
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.
