I was born in Manatí, Puerto Rico, where colors, flavors, and storytelling were woven into everyday life.
Estrambólica—a word meaning odd, eccentric, and unconventional—was my abuela’s favorite way to describe my style growing up. Back then, I didn’t think much of it. But as I grew, I realized it was more than a playful tease—it was a badge of honor. Self-expression became my most cherished trait, and creativity, my constant companion.
From an early age, I explored the world through movement, melody, brushstrokes, and recipes. Art, dance, music, and food were never separate to me—they were just different dialects of the same creative language.
After high school, Culinary Arts felt like a natural path. I became a certified Chef and Pastry Chef, working in kitchens and learning the rhythm of the industry. The time I spent beside my abuela in the kitchen shaped not only my skills, but my heart. When the pandemic reshaped everything, I chose to pivot—without leaving creativity behind.
I returned to school at Arizona State University and earned a Bachelor’s in Graphic Information Technology with a minor in Film & Media Studies. Immersing myself in digital creation opened new doors—design, photography, film, and storytelling—all blending into a new era of expression. Today, I create without borders, collaborating with those who dare to dream big, embrace the unconventional, and see beauty in the unexpected.
