Born and raised in El Paso, Texas, I grew up surrounded by desert sun, vibrant Mexican culture, and mountains where you can see Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico all at once. I’ve lived in Austin for over a decade now, but the desert will always feel like home.
I’ve been making art since I could hold a pencil, moving from graphite drawings to painting, jewelry, and digital illustration. I’ve always been a “try everything” creative — a mindset summed up perfectly by:
"A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." -William Shakespeare
"A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." -William Shakespeare
"A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one." -William Shakespeare
I collect abanicos (hand fans) from around the world, a tradition my Spanish abuela began for me when I was young.
My Journey
My career began in an unexpected place: culinary school. A happy accident with brewing kombucha led to running my own beverage brand, where I designed everything from the logo to the trailer and website. Over time, I realized the part that lit me up most wasn’t the brewing…
It was the design.
Since 2017, I’ve been building my skills in branding, UX/UI, and graphic design, blending structure with creativity and empathy with function. I love creating work that’s intuitive, beautiful, and full of personality. The kind that connects with people and leaves a lasting impression.

I am a tea fanatic. (Hellooo…kombucha!) I love making homemade iced london fogs or a custom herbal blend. Just call me a potions master.
For Funsies
When I’m not designing, I explore other creative playgrounds such as painting nudes in watercolor, clown self-portraits, and mixed-media crafts. If a commission comes along that promises joy and a puzzle to solve, I can’t resist but say yes. Lately, that’s meant painting large-scale murals for my family’s tequila company.
And when I finally step away from my arts and crafts, you’ll find me dancing at a live music show, deep in a fantasy novel, curating a vibey playlist, yapping with my girls, or watching What We Do in the Shadows with my partner Colin and my tuxedo cat, Zulu.

Olivo means "olive tree" in Spanish…which explains why I'm always branching out.

I'm fascinated by skulls. One day I hope to get my own X-ray so that I can paint a badass picture of it.
The Path I've Taken
From brewing kombucha to crafting digital experiences, I’ve always chased the intersection of creativity, precision, and a little bit of magic. With roots in culinary arts, branding, and UX/UI design, I bring an empathetic, multi-disciplinary approach to every project, blending visual storytelling, user-centered strategy, and bold ideas you didn’t know you needed (but now can’t imagine skipping).
