I grew up as a third-culture child in Latin America and I've lived in the U.S. long enough to consider myself fourth-culture. Having no permanent cultural identity grew my love for learning languages and traveling – I practiced Russian before visiting Uzbekistan! 

​

I'm passionate about studying the accessibility and reach of digital platforms in other world regions where people might not speak major languages nor have the digital literacy to catch up with ever-updating software. 

​

Aside from travel, I'm a semi-retired artist (I have massive impostor syndrome with my art) and an aspiring cook. If I wasn't a designer, I'd love to open a noodle restaurant.
