Profile
I was born and raised in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico.
Been always impressed by my surroundings and by the ways I might influence,
improve, and work within those surroundings are some of the reasons I
chose to become a designer. It began with drawing and exploring ideas
gathered on a piece of paper which served as a initial direction, and
presented me with a challenge, how to become a better visual communicator.
In Fall 2008, I will be achieving one of my ultimate goals, completing
the MFA Graphic Design program at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
After three and half years of hard work and intense exposure to design
education, I am ready to continue and evolve my career as a designer.
