Single record sleeve for track #12. 7×8½ in.
The playlist navigates nothingness and prolonged isolation. Tracks depict abstract soundscapes and drones without a clear structure that transition uneventfully from one another. Playback emulates the feeling of losing track of time.
Conceptualized during the first months of COVID-19 lockdown. Meant to be listened in order and on repeat until worn out.

Information
I’m a graphic designer and web developer working between the digital and the material to present stories that bring people together. I believe great ideas come from understanding, embracing, and expanding their context. Business goals and thoughtful research inform the better part of my creative process. This website is under active development.
Skills
- Branding and design systems
- Logotypes and lettering
- Web and UI design
- Promotional material and social media
- Print and editorial
Context is the key to notability, whether grounded in facts or personal stories. Every creation lives within a broader cultural landscape shaped by diverse backgrounds, opposing ideas and countless forms of human expression. My design draws inspiration from music, psychology and the vernacular.
Raised by immigrant parents in tiny but warm Costa Rica, I have learned to find a sense of family in the communities around me. That outlook continues to shape how I approach my work and my world. Everyday experiences (discovering music, attending public events, walking through cities, connecting with people) fuel my creative intuition.
I encourage collaborators to bring their own influences into the process, creating work that reflects multiple perspectives.
