About 

PROFILE

I was born in Houston Texas with an American mother and a Mexican father. We moved to Monterrey Mexico where I have lived for most of my life.

This experience has allowed me to view different cultures and perspectives to problem solving.

Design is my life and to me many of life’s problems can be solved through the careful and harmonious transformation of our environments: from spaces and instruments, to graphics and textures that adorn everything in between.
