Hello world, My creative journey began on a little island in the Caribbean. While the other kids were flying kites and playing baseball, I was alone in my room drawing my favorite 80s cartoons. That creative passion grew into a fruitful career, and I went on to become an award-winning designer. In many ways, I am living proof that, despite its shortcomings, the American dream is still alive and well. I was born in the Dominican Republic and raised there until the age of ten. My family migrated to the United States in the late 80s, eventually settling in Lawrence, MA, a small immigrant town located a few miles north of Boston. In 2002, I graduated from Bridgewater State University with a dual Bachelor of Fine Arts and Corporate Communication degree. Since then, I've worked as a graphic designer and, most recently, as a creative manager in the wonderful city of Las Vegas. In addition to my day job, I consult as a creative director, strategist, and manager. I help businesses and individuals with creative problems. When I'm not designing, I'm writing about my experiences as an Afro-Latino creative in corporate America. I use social media to connect, mentor, teach, and inspire the next generation of Black and brown creatives.
