I am a 25 year old Mexican-American. I was born and raised in Texas. I have a BFA in Graphic Design from the Art Institute of Boston. For the past 2 years I have been living in Porto Alegre, Brazil.

I am a freelance designer and book artist. I also make chocolates. I consider myself a very crafty person. I put lots of time, detail and love into my projects.

Since this is all about photographs, here is my disclaimer. I'd have way more photos posted if I went pro. Also, if my camera didn't go wacko after every 15 shots, I'd be in photo heaven. I love excuses for why things are the way they are.

I am married and have no children. My husband's name is Israel. He's 31 and from Porto Alegre. He works with me doing design work. He is also a computer progammer. He does his share of saving the world and animals.

We have a pit bull. Her name is Polenta. She is white with black ears and a black spot on her back just like Snoopy. She eats way too many cookies. I wanted a gaurd dog, but she's really just way too friendly and deffinately not mean.

I really like the challenge of learning a new language, walking in high heals, having a dinner party, clean glasses on a rainy day or remembering what time it is.

I hate when my camera goes black, being late, not having any chapstick, not knowing what time it is or breaking a nail.
