Summary

As a 41-year-old Cuban American born and raised in Miami, FL to Cuban immigrant parents, I learned the value of hard work and dedication from a young age. I discovered my passion for art in middle school and channeled that passion into graffiti, which quickly became a defining element of my identity in the street art world.

As I continued to explore my creative side, I realized that my true calling was in design. I pursued a degree in graphic design, honing my skills in digital art and learning how to apply my talents to a variety of different formats.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated exceptional leadership and management skills, successfully leading teams and coordinating complex projects from start to finish. I have a keen eye for design and a proven ability to create visually stunning and impactful artwork, signs, and other graphic materials.

In my previous roles, I have built positive relationships with clients, artists, team members, and stakeholders, using my excellent communication and collaboration skills to ensure successful project outcomes. I have a deep commitment to quality and attention to detail, specializing in color alignment and store transformations to ensure that all projects were completed to the highest standards.

As a lifelong artist and creative thinker, I am excited to bring my unique perspective and skills to a dynamic company. I am dedicated to applying my life's work to everything I do, bringing exceptional talent, creativity, and a strong work ethic to any role that I take on.
