Welcome to My Digital Portfolio

Edward Tulane is a beloved children's play     about friendship, resilience, and the       redemptive power of love. 

My directive was to make a poster that screamed 'magic' the moment you looked at it. The instructions were to make it exciting and whimsical, capture the wonder of childhood, and to include an image of a young girl with the words "I have not always been alone. I have been loved."

The Senior Dance Capstones are senior projects by dance majors showcasing original choreography. 

My directive was to make a poster that captured moments from individual pieces, while primarily highlighting the group as a cohort/collective. Instructions were to emphasize their talent and professionalism while adding a feeling of nostalgia looking back on their years together.

This mock-up was made for an imaginary show at an imaginary venue for my ASPIRE project submission at the 2024 Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. 

Butch Rhapsody's is a made-up drag venue that does highly stylized musical parodies of pop culture iconography. My goal was to make something funny, campy, tongue-in-cheek, and instantly eye-catching as to grab someone's attention from a telephone pole on a street corner. 

In the end, I won the 2024 John Cauble Emerging Producer & Leader Award at the festival.

Posdata was a new work based on the real history of El Paso, TX. Posdata is an intimate and incisive piece about the ties that inevitably bind us to the past. The play was created based on real postcards written and submitted anonymously by El Pasoans. 

The directive was to make a poster that captures the haziness of the past. It should feel nostalgic, historical, and distinctly El Paso. It also needs to incorporate post cards.

Humanhood was a concert of dance performances, each uniquely designed and choreographed by a separate arrangement of people, but each created around a central theme: what makes us human. 

The instructions were very broad which allowed for a great deal of creative liberty. I chose to go in a pop-art, surrealist direction that evokes a de-construction of the self. 

Each year, the University of Texas at El Paso's Theatre & Dance Department creates a program of its upcoming season of shows. 

This was my first ever graphic design project. I tried to make something that fit UTEP's look by mimicking the mountains surrounding the school, all in UTEP's colors. 

Earthhood was a dance concert consisting of two movement pieces, each exploring the relationship between the body and the Earth. The work provokes thought on the topics of ecology, agriculture, identity, and our body's connection to its history. 

Instructions were brief, in fact asking for deliberate vagueness as we were not able to see one of the performances until the final dress rehearsal. 

Metamorphoses is a play retelling ancient Greek myths. Humanity's helplessness to the power of the gods and fate are reoccurring themes in many vignettes. 

My objective was to make something that captures that quality of godly power and magnificence. I wanted it to look hard, impenetrable, yet glamorous and sumptuous.

My directive was to make a program that felt distinctly El Paso, capturing the optimistic tone from the script. I utilized s scenic rendering by assistant designer Arely Garcia, that features the El Paso city skyline in modern day and the early 1900's for the cover.
