I’m a US born, Colombian-Peruvian cartoonist, illustrator, writer and all-around storyteller. My stories center around relationships, communities and belonging, and regularly feature ghosts. I am interested in immigration and history, and inspired by gothic literature, magical realism and folklore. As a former dog trainer, pets and wildlife make frequent appearances in my stories.
I did my undergrad at Sarah Lawrence College (Political Science, Latin American Studies, and Visual Arts) and earned an MFA from the Center for Cartoon Studies, where I also undertook an independent study in book binding and repair at the library of neighboring Dartmouth College. I’m a recipient of the 2014 April Fog Memorial Pinball Scholarship for my MFA thesis packaging design, and the 2017 bronze medalist for the Comics Workbook Composition Competition. One master’s degree wasn’t enough, so I am now also pursuing a Masters of Library and Information Science at Pratt Institute.
Originally from Princeton, NJ, and a longtime denizen of New York City, you can find me drawing, cooking or dancing in Brooklyn.
