Honduras, 1999
Born in 1999 and raised in the heart of the Americas—Honduras—I grew up in a household where law, academia, and the arts converged. Creativity was always an intrinsic part of my life, first finding expression through music. At the age of 10, I learned to play the Spanish guitar, later expanding my musical abilities to piano and singing.
From an early age, I became fully bilingual in Spanish and English, which broadened my ability to explore different cultures and perspectives. At 15, I moved to Barcelona, a transformative chapter that deepened my artistic sensibilities. Immersed in European culture, I refined my skills in music and writing while also learning to speak Catalan. During my time in Barcelona, I developed a passion for poetry, the arts, and languages. By 17, I had begun compiling a collection of poems, sonnets, and essays exploring the socio-cultural dynamics of Honduran life.
In 2018, I entered architecture school, reinforcing my passion for design and problem-solving. During college, I also developed a keen interest in photography, drawn to its ability to capture narratives through composition, light, and emotion. At the same time, I expanded my linguistic abilities further by learning Italian, adding to my fluency in Spanish, English, and Catalan.
My creative journey took a significant turn in 2022 when political turmoil and the persecution of opposition members in Honduras forced me to leave my home country as a refugee. I found a new beginning in Miami, FL. During this transition, I channeled my creativity into art direction and graphic design, merging my interests in fashion, editorial design, and visual storytelling. My aesthetic blends clean, minimalist concepts with raw, grunge influences, drawing inspiration from the 1970s and 1980s.
Today, I collaborate with leading real estate brands, crafting compelling narratives and visual identities that make them stand out in Miami’s fast-evolving market. My work continues to be driven by the intersection of art, design, and storytelling—transforming brands into lasting experiences.
