Visual Diary

Photography
This project involved creating a semester-long visual diary—a series of thoughtfully composed and properly exposed photographs centered on a self-chosen theme. Inspired by Chicago’s vibrant artistic energy, I focused on capturing letterforms and numbers in unexpected contexts.

The work progressed in three stages: the first series explored type appearing in unconventional settings, the second highlighted numbers in surprising or overlooked places, and the final batch featured numbers on or near doors and gates. Through this project, I examined how typography interacts with urban environments, turning everyday details into compelling visual compositions.

 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.
