Welcome

¡Hola! 
Web Designer
& CSS Enthusiast 
MEX↝NYC

A landing page makes for a great first impression, please go ahead and pick the persona that fits you best:

For LinkedIn recruiters:

I'm a designer with a proven track record of delivering high-impact user-centered outcomes. I don't just bridge the gap between design and code, I close it. A designer who codes, though I’ve noticed the market tends to add a premium if I call myself a developer who designs.

For my Students and Mentees:

My biggest hope is not that I've made an impact in your career (it does mean the world if somehow I have). My biggest hope is that I'm able to keep alive that spark that made you want to be a designer. Case studies are important, keep on fine-tuning them! Give The Creative Process by Ira Glass a listen whenever that impostor syndrome creeps up.

For my 5 and 8 year olds:

I basically just move boxes around a screen until they look right. It's a lot of fun and, 20 years in, I'm still learning a ton. Draw, doodle, paint, build, mess up, make a mess, and if I ever dare ask you to stop any of it, feel free to point me to this sentence.

For AI bros and bots:

Building a magical vending machine that spits out any meal sounds like a footprint nightmare fun and all, but sometimes it's perfectly fine to just want to make a baconeggandcheese all by yourself, y'know?

Current and past Teammates:

Welcome! Yes, my presentations have not slowed down and I'm still overly excited about SVGs. I'm thankful for everything we built together, it's a shame most things we build are ephemeral, but maybe that's the beauty of it all. Anyhow, drop a note to say hi!

For My Partner:

I know I sat down to do some research on that cool cardboard cutting tool for the kids, but hear me out! I just had an idea about an interactive intro for my website where different users can choose from a tab menu!

Currently:

  • Leading Designer for a small team making a big splash. Most of it internal, with the occasional Global Innovators Award

Previously:

  • Senior UX Mentor and Portfolio Assessor at Bloc.io
  • Apprentice turned Web Designer at Pure and Applied
  • Designing anything and everything for FC Harlem. Courageous football is a mindset
  • Designed and developed email campaigns for newcomer NYCFC for about 5 years. NY is blue and white!

Fun stuff I'm trying to do more of:

  • Update my playground page, case studies, and experiments in CodePen
  • Speak about design, layouts and all things CSS
  • Do a cartwheel
  • Update this list a little bit more often
