I am a Graphic Designer and Photographer based in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Graduated in 2019 from Pratt Institute with a BFA in Communications Design. Continuously inspired by Illustration, Lettering, and Printmaking, the core of my work features my own practice of these disciplines.

 I was introduced to the world of design at an impressionable age, thanks to my grandfather, Alberto Cuadrado. In his time, he was one of the most recognized advertisers in the Dominican Republic and continues to be one of my biggest inspirations. Ever since, I’ve been endlessly fascinated by anything and everything that is visually appealing to me.

The highlights of my career include winning two 'GDUSA' Graphic Design Awards and the 'Ryan Aumiller Memorial Award' at PrattMWP for my 'outstanding progress and professionalism in Communications Design’. Lastly, my design for 'America’s Greatest Heart Run and Walk' was used in 2017 to help raise over one million dollars for the American Heart Association.
