A Bit About Me

I am class of 2026 at the University of Southern California, majoring in Art History, and minoring in Product Design. My passion lies at the intersection of these two subjects: the history of ideas and design, and the future of innovation.

Outside of university, I am an established painter with pieces in the Museum of Tolerance, Los Angeles, and in the D'Albret Collection Zürich. My work has been featured on ABC News and Good Morning America. I am currently working on an animated film about Los Angeles, while illustrating a children's book and working as a graphic design assistant.

I am fluent in Spanish and French with a basic understanding of German. I am currently studying Japanese. I have experience using softwares such as SolidWorks, Illustrator, and Clip Studio Paint.
