An illustrator, designer, letterer, and painter living in the Austin Area.

I was born in Mazatlán, Mexico, in the '80s. Since I was a little girl, my biggest love was painting, drawing, and DIY craft projects; I consider myself a creative person.

In 2011 I moved to Austin with my husband. After several years working as a graphic designer and two years studying and working as a professional makeup artist, I decided it was time to pursue my biggest dream.

Now I work as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer for clients all over the world from my home studio.

Pastel pencils, watercolors, markers, and ink are some of my favorite art supplies.
I like to sketch my illustrations with just a pencil, and then I make the digital version with an iPad or my computer.
