Maryland Institute College of Art

Where is your hometown? I am originally from Guayaquil, Ecuador. I’ve lived in Bolivia for almost 7 years, a summer in France, and the last 5 years in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Where did you attend undergraduate school and what was your major?
I graduated from the Art Academy of Cincinnati, in Ohio, with a degree in Visual Communication Design. Do you have any particular interests? Besides design, I have become a self-taught paper-engineer. This means I can make all sorts of pop-up cards, spreads for pop-up books, and other foldable three-dimensional paper pieces. I’m still learning quite a bit, but I think (for me) the world of design and the world of pop-ups are connected! Due to this fact, I am also very much in-love with out-of-the-ordinary package designs, and all kinds of physically interactive design works.
