About Me
I’m a storyteller. Whether it’s through an anecdote of my childhood in El Salvador, a fictional short story, a press release or the design of a brand identity, I like to tell a tale. I’m easily excitable, tend to babble and speak with my hands, but I am passionate, creative and resourceful. I’m an editor, a writer, a communicator and a budding designer; I love learning new things, reading good books and drinking good tea.
