I was born and raised in Guanajuato Mexico, where I learned to love the variety of culture, colors, music and food that is an eclectic part of daily life. At an early age I moved to Chicago where I learned to love the aspects of American life, but as an immigrant from Mexico, my heritage has always been a big influence on me. It was here in Chicago where I began my studies of graphic design, but my curiosity to explore different cities took me to Los Angeles where I was able to conclude my journey of college education. Nevertheless, I am always learning. ALWAYS!
After graduating college, I moved to New York City to explore an internship opportunity. While doing my internship I found a job at a "third-wave" coffee shop. Ever since, I have been involved either part-time or full time with coffee. I love coffee, I love design, I love collaboration with other like minded individuals, and I am always looking for ways to do things that make me happy.
At this moment, I work as a freelance designer, part-time barista, and I also collaborate with my friends to create projects that involve art, food, and coffee.
