Hi! I am a Mexican/ Puerto Rican nonbinary freelance illustrator who loves to use shapes, color, and texture in my work. I have worked for fantastic companies such as DreamWorks TV, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr, Sesame Workshop, Illumination, Hasbro, Spin Master, Facebook, Playdots, and more! I did preproduction character design work for the feature animated film, "Paws of Fury: Legend of Hank". It is the first film that features my name in the credits (Look, ma! That's me!) I was fortunate to co-curate an exhibition at Gallery Nucleus called "Doggy Pile".

I have created the popular Anxiety Fox character, which sold over 1000 of the "It Will Be Okay" pins. This character helps brings awareness to anxiety order, an illness that I have to face every day. The character raised over $260,000 on Kickstarter and even gained the coveted "Projects We Love" badge. Anxiety Fox is currently being sold at the famous Gallery Nucleus.

When not drawing, I spend most of my free time studying and learning about the dog breed, the Japanese Akitainu. I am blessed to live with these amazing dogs and want to do my part on ensuring this breed is protected. I care about this breed so much that I spent a year in Japan in order to learn the language (I still have a long way to go) and currently have a breeding program that focuses on honoring its country of origin. If I am not talking about art, then I am most likely talking your ear off about these dogs!

I try my best to spread love and kindness in order to honor my big brother, Francisco, who passed away at the age of 32. He is the driving force for me to continue to spread happiness, kindness, and positivity through my work. He was my biggest supporter, my hero, and inspiration.

I am not available for fulltime work but I may be available for freelance character design, visual development, and more. Please get in touch by emailing me at
