Who I Am
HELLO! Welcome to my digital resumé!
I have been working in the art and design industry since 2012 where I started off as a printmaker (with a focus on screenprinting) and worked in a sweatshop to learn sublimation printing.
After moving from Hawai'i to TX, I decided to shift my focus to fine arts and illustration since screenprinting jobs weren't as plentiful as they were in Hawai'i.
For awhile I did commissions for friends, made greeting cards, and taught art classes for kids an adults. My ultimate goal being to become a children's book illustrator.
I did this for a few years, but I really wanted to step back into apparel and textiles again, so I opened a tie-dye business and eventually added DTF printing to those items.
During all of this, I was also doing graphic design commissions for the City of San Antonio, helping the city as a print manager during COVID, and helping our community with my art and graphic design skills in the print center I managed by creating small business logos, funeral programs, wedding and baby shower posters, event flyers, editing clothing designs, and school and business banners.
Now I'm here to offer any and all of those services to you.
Let's collaborate and work together!
Please browse the pages below for work I've done, and always know that I'm always willing to step out of the box for a project.
