Feed The People Dallas Mutual Aid
Organizer, Graphic Designer, Social Media Manager
    From 2021 to 2022, I worked with the Dallas-based mutual aid organization, Feed The People. I joined as a graphic designer/social media manager and quickly took on the role of organizer. We provided free groceries, regular free meal pick-ups, and community resource workshops all while responding to urgent crises like the Texas freeze and extreme heat conditions for houseless communities.


Innerspace Collective
    Innerspace Collective is a community discussion group I created exploring the intersection of embodied healing & social justice through films. I developed all digital and print assets for Innerspace, ranging from a website to social media event flyers. I also designed and hand printed t-shirts with the help of local screenprinting collective, Pretty Good Co-Op. Innerspace Collective was active monthly from February 2023 to January 2024. 

    It has been hosted within various art spaces throughout Dallas including Trade Oak Cliff, Odyssey Studios and its’ latest home, Spacy DTX, Dallas’ only microcinema. 


Spiritual Shit
Freelance Project
    Alea Lovely commissioned me to create stylized posts based on her weekly podcast show, Spiritual Shit. I designed the posts below based on the guest and theme of each episode. 


BLM in Spanish
Graphic Designer, Translator, Organizer
    During the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, I found that material to explain the carceral state and racism online was limited to English-speaking audiences and made it harder to have these conversations with my own family. I used my college background in American Studies of Race, design expertise, and experience in Spanish translation to create Instagram posts that could inform Spanish-speaking communities across the United States. This project allowed me to research and gather language to engage my own community members and the posts were shared across thousands of accounts by individual users.
