About
With a robust educational foundation in Visual Journalism and Fine/Studio Arts from the University of Miami, I have cultivated a dynamic career in the creative industry. Currently serving as an Art Director at Mio, I oversee the visual and artistic direction of projects, ensuring they align with the company's creative vision. My journey began as a Marketing, PR & Design Intern at Del Toro Shoes, where I honed my skills in design and social media management. I then advanced to roles such as Fashion Editor at Distraction Magazine and Marketing Graphic Designer at Lawson Screen & Digital Products, Inc., where I developed expertise in branding and digital marketing. As a Junior Art Director at Movement Strategy, I conceptualized social media campaigns and developed brand strategies. My diverse experience across various creative roles has equipped me with a comprehensive skill set in art direction, design, and marketing.
