Throughout my time at Parsons The New School for Design, I studied Product Design. My work was deeply shaped by my queer experience and my Dominican heritage. Early in my college career, I realized I only wanted to create work that I could truly identify with. Being in a predominantly cis, white, hetero space like the Constructed Environments program at Parsons made me feel isolated, but it also pushed me to become the best in my class and to hone my craft with even more intention.

This collection of designs created during my time at Parsons is a direct manifestation of the skills I developed, the knowledge I gained, and the experiences shared with me. These years ultimately guided me into the next five, where I went on to co-create The Angelito Collective. From that period grew a deep desire to surround myself with like-minded artists, folks who could challenge my creativity and help shape the future of our work.
