ABOUT
Oh, you know — The “You may be entitled to compensation” kind of advertising *eye roll*.
Because of this, I traded my Prismacolor pencils and Crayolas for a bigger creative mission.
My affinity for art, culture, and creativity, led me to a grand pursuit of making advertising more genuine. And I currently do so as a latina award-winning Senior Art Director at Saatchi & Saatchi.
