The Beginning
I started my advertising career at one of Chicago’s largest creative agencies, tasked with selling fried chicken to the masses as part of the team behind KFC’s national campaigns. This was my crash course in the power of storytelling and creative branding.

Championing Creators
While climbing the corporate ladder, I took on a side hustle at a thriving indie record label. What began as a passion project grew into a role as Head of Brand Partnerships, where I aligned artists with brands like Rémy Martin, Vans, Apple, Virgin Hotels, RVCA, Major League Soccer, Chicago Bulls, and Kitsuné. I discovered a love for supporting creators and building meaningful collaborations that opened new revenue streams for artists.

Rediscovering My Roots
A trip to San Luis Potosí, Mexico—my mother’s birthplace—became a turning point. I documented the journey with my camera, reconnecting with my culture and exploring a side of myself that had been sheltered as a first-generation Mexican American. It was a pivotal moment that transformed my creative expression.

Mastering the Craft
I honed my advertising and branding expertise, working on creative and influencer campaigns for major brands like Chili’s, Bud Light, Camel, and Toyota. I managed teams, led six-figure productions, and delivered high-impact TV, social, and digital campaigns.

Finding Boxing
During a year in Miami, I discovered boxing and began documenting champion fighters, producing branded content around their stories. This passion led me to Mexico City, where I explored the essence of the Mexican fighting style and its cultural significance.

Sharing the Vision
I exhibited “No Te Dejes,” a two-year photography project that celebrates resilience and culture in Mexican boxing. The series was featured in 12 international publications, including NPR, Huck Magazine, and WePresent. I’ve since collaborated with celebrated boxers, the World Boxing Council, and brands like Everlast and Cleto Reyes.
