I’m a multidisciplinary creative building brand narratives across film, photo, and design.
Influenced by my experience as a Venezuelan immigrant who came of age in the suburbs of the American North,
my original work often centers people navigating cultural borderlands and addressing questions of identity, memory, and belonging.
I received a BFA in Film & TV Production from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.
