About

Born in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. Currently living in New York. As a self-taught illustrator, I have been creating my own path through the visual arts. Everything I know about illustration is because of my passion for it. Since I have not been able to study arts, I've been training myself through years, by practicing and studying some of my favorite role models in visual arts. I have been able to work illustrating books, collaborate with fashion designers and several art commissions. My goal is to study arts, become an animator and filmmaker, and also keep growing professionally as an illustrator.

  As an independent illustrator I had the opportunity to work with Puerto Rican writer Maribel Suarez, illustrating her book Two Fish Tales. I got the chance to collaborate with fashion designer, Luis Antonio, illustrating his first graphic T-Shirt collection, which were presented at the most important fashion event in Puerto Rico, San Juan Moda. I was also commissioned an artwork by Ballets de San Juan, for their ballet Firebird.

  Four years of experience as a salesperson and providing excellent customer service. I also worked as cashier, filled merchandise, managed calls, and any other necessary task. As a Bopis Lead, I had the responsibility of processing every online order to be picked up in store. Every order needed to be processed and ready to pick up in less than two hours. Working for this company I have managed to strengthen my sense of urgency and the ability to make quick decisions under pressure.
