9 years old standing in a field in Avebury

She/ Her, Latinx, SF based, 🇨🇴🇺🇸, Web Developer, and Artist

Lover of making 'all of the things', I'm passionate about creation and making things that bring joy. Whether it's a linocut print, a portfolio website, a fun Javascript animation or a web based game; I love making things and learning new mediums. I'm also passionate about access to technology and helping others make things too.

While I found out how to change my MySpace page as a teenager and used Drupal CMS when I worked non-profit in DC, I made a career change into web development in 2015 by attending General Assembly's Web Development Immersive Course and have been developing webs ever since!

While art has always been a big part of my life, I took the opportunity in quarantine to develop my printmaking skills. This heart is an svg representation of the first thing I ever carved last year in 2019. Click below to see more.
