Medium 1 / El Vuelo Del Cóndor, Digitally printed installation, 84’ x 12” (2026)
A quantitative representation of Luis and Lily’s 26 years in the United States. Using photographs as chronological checkpoints, the timeline represents statistical data of my parents’ direct contributions to the US, such as where they lived, jobs they held, taxes filed, and personal life milestones, etc.

Medium 2 / Thank You Video, Time-based video, 6:00 mins., 1920px x 1080px (2026)
A culmination of Luis and Lily’s complete migration journey through a multimedia video, using found footage, music, and interview audio. Gratitude is the core message of the video, highlighting the emotional experience of a complete migration journey. This video will be a 2-person experience to symbolize the paired journey of Luis and Lily.

I’m an Ecuadorian-American designer graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Rutgers University-Newark this May 2026. My work spans local branding campaigns, digital design systems, and publication layout, with a strong focus on clarity and storytelling. At the core of my design practice is visual communication in service of people. I’m especially drawn to projects centered on digital accessibility, immigration advocacy, and design education. I approach creative challenges with adaptability and determination, and I’m always excited to collaborate on work that makes a meaningful impact.
