About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To See through the eyes of others. The world is far too great and I only have two eyes. I'd like to see the images and ideas other eyes conceal.

ABOUT ME

Now leaving New York after living and working here for a year... I'm excited to see what exists across the ocean. I find myself completely free to do and to be with whomever I please. This is an ideal time to travel and to live in other cities.

Shortly, I'll be leaving for Berlin, to work live and work on myself. More than anything... I'd like to figure out what I want to study for grad school and the most effective way to learn about that is by talking to people. I love talking to people about their lives and their choices.

I'm a graphic designer specializing in web and print design but I am interested in more interdisciplinary approaches to design. I make artist books, as well. Cooking is something I find great comfort in; I am thankful to say that I have lived comfortably enough to share my food and my kitchen with others.

PHILOSOPHY

Love for more Love.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was living in Argentina, I was able to be at a corner of Three countries: Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love Print design, so maybe I can teach you to make a fancy poster? ahaha. What I'd reallly love is if I met up with random writers through CS and we could compose amazing pamphlets and distribute them in random cities! ahhh.  I can teach how to cook! But I'd really prefer to learn more about this. Cooking is really very reciprocal I've noticed. When I'm travelling I'm open to pretty much anything.
