Building launch-ready visual worlds for beauty, lifestyle + consumer brands.

I’m a Puerto Rican + Indian Design Director and creative leader with 13+ years building visual worlds across product, packaging, retail, digital and experiential. My work moves from early concept and visual direction through production and launch, with a hands-on background in illustration, surface design and creative systems.

Now

Design Director at The Beachwaver Co.®, leading in-house and partner teams across design, video, photography and ecommerce.

I helped scale the brand’s visual identity across a 100+ SKU product portfolio and led packaging design and visual direction on 13 product launches in 2023 alone. I take ideas from early concept through launch — often developing original illustration and surface design myself — and integrate AI-assisted workflows and agents to accelerate concept exploration, creative testing, audience variations and scalable updates across markets and channels.
