I’m a visual designer living in Chicago. Graduated from Washington University in St. Louis, Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts in 2020 with a BFA in Communication Design and a minor in Art History & Archaeology. I grew up in Miami, where I learned to love the blending of cultures and the appreciation of manatees and the beach.

In my design work, I am interested in connecting with people and creating with the intention of impact. Outside of design, I enjoy reading, picking up new hobbies, bike riding with friends, and visiting museums.

Birth control pack flyer / November 2019



Final flyer

For this project I was inspired by female artists like the Guerrilla Girls of Sindha Agha, who make radical work that calls out injustices in our society. This inspired me to create a poster that comes in birth control to display a flow chart to help women feel less alone.

From personal experience I discovered that birth control pills effected my mental health, and I wasn’t able to connect the dots for so long. When I told friends they also realized their pill had made their emotions change. Women are often told that they are too emotional or crazy which creates an isolating feeling. My poster and mood tracker to go inside the birth control packs, creates a fun and relatable way to track your emotions and encourages to reach out to someone if you aren’t feeling great. I chose blue and bright green to not play into any gender stereotypes, and to create a fun yet relaxed tone. The language of the flow chart mimics that of a friends, which creates an friendly environment to check in on yourself.
