PORTFOLIO

I build connection through story, design and sea.

I believe in the transformative power of storytelling, art, and design (both digital and natural) as ways to move mountains and invite possibility. Through creativity and lived experience I build connection in an increasingly automated world using select tools.

I show up in the world as a writer, instructor, consultant, graphic designer, editor, facilitator, performer, creative disruptor, transformative justice advocate, jewelry designer, community storykeeper, 5NP ear acupuncture technician, surfer, & crip kin.

I sustain my environmental and disability justice work through mutual aid and freelance work as a cycle-breaker. I hold on to the hope that ancient and modern technologies can find harmony to help us navigate a constantly changing world.

I serve people and organizations at the intersections of design, storytelling, and social change from the archipelago of Puerto Rico and the Northeastern United States. I use tools like group and in-person facilitation, 1:1 coaching, website & graphic design, and sea shells to connect across borders.

Detailed portfolios related to graphic design & Spirit Shells jewelry available upon request.
