A B O UT I’m a puertorrican-based graphic designer and photographer who strives in creating works that harmoniously tie the knot between functionality and esthetics. My solid background in design and my experiences in life make me, I would say, a designer and artist in creating something out of nothing and making tangible that which isn’t. Living on a tropical Island makes me a roadtrip junkie who loves the beach, a foodie and someone who indulges in music.
ME
P H OT O GRAPHY The following content was taken as part of different projects in which I gained experience and techniques that I’ve never worked with before.
thesis project Currently we have been witnessing a lack of humanization in Puerto Rico. Empathy is the path that takes you to achieve sensibility. It is fundamental to address, and bring to public light these problems so that people do not pass by unnoticed and act on it. In the wake of this preoccupation the interest in researching and learning about the terms mentioned before arises, and the question would be how to develop empathy and sensibility through photography in a positive way. This study presents how those marginalized, excluded and vulnerable people, face their every day lives were the society is not aware and have little communication.

photography essay
This photograph essay was inspired on those things we don’t see as ordinary. I settled up some ‘shots’ in which I used ordinary things and common situations in daily life and randomly mixed them up and captured some interesnting stuff that we don’t see day by day. title: “Don’t settle for the ordinary”.
