I do my best work when…
I'm recently fed, the temperature is at a sensible 70°F, I have a hoodie or blanket to stay cozy and my headphones are fully charged.
I can’t stop listening to…
Probably Baile Inolvidable by Bad Bunny & Abracadabra by Gaga. Feeding my Latin and Pop souls!
My current tool of choice is…
I love my iPad aka "my boyfriend". We do everything together.
I’d describe my style as…
Friendly, fun, expressive, loud, thicc and a bit wild.
The project I’ve been most inspired by recently is…
My Pride project for Amazon Music. I feel like its the project that keeps on giving. I love to be able to represent for the Queerdom, especially in such trying days and to stand for what matters most.
To me, it’s really helpful when clients…
Are clear with what they want to accomplish, so I can visualize their dreams the best I can.
A creative area I’d like to explore more is…
How to bring my digital work to a physical space where people can be interact and appreciate all its dimensions.
