Puerto Rico

Hi there! I'm a 28 year old Graphic Artist/Illustrator/Designer from Puerto Rico currently living in the California Bay Area. I create handmade jewelry using origami components and Kanzashi-inspired hair accessories. I also enjoy making cute designs for t-shirts, binders and other products. I have a Bachelor of Art's Degree in Graphic Art. If I'm not doing something art related you will find me working on stuff for Gaia Online where I'm a Omni Moderator among other things, hanging out at home playing games/watching movies, wasting time on Facebook and tumblr, or hanging out with friends. Whenever I go back home to Puerto Rico, I enjoy playing/taking care of my niece and spending time with my family and local friends.

My usual mediums are: Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator, Wacom Graphire (I just got an Intous 5!) tablet, Oil-based Markers, Watercolors, and Pen and Ink.

My twin sister is an oil painter and also has a gallery here.
