Film Photography
At the start of my academic journey, I became close friends with Nguyen, who introduced me to 35mm film photography. Her work and knowledge of different film stocks inspired me to explore this medium and experiment with capturing images on film. I’ve always been drawn to finding beauty in the everyday and the mundane, and I credit her with sparking my appreciation for the tactile, deliberate process of film photography. Thank you, friend. <3
This section of my portfolio is intentionally miscellaneous, showcasing moments that bring me joy. Each image reflects my perspective and the simple pleasures of appreciating and holding onto a moment while it lasts.

ABOUT ME
As a recent UIC graduate, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for analog art, working with traditional media such as painting, drawing, collage, linocuts, and creating objects with clay, and translating these pieces into the digital realm to create a dynamic bridge between physical and digital art. My work often explores personal themes that shape who I am—my Black and Mexican heritage, my environment, my thoughts, family and friends, and my evolving identity as an artist and designer.
Lately, I’ve been drawn to brand identity and logo design, exploring how visual systems can communicate ideas and values effectively. As I continue learning and discovering more about myself, I know I’ll also develop clarity about the kind of designer I want to be through these projects. Outside of my work, I enjoy exploring local spots with friends, shooting film, learning Spanish, and being a homebody with my cat.
