I am an artist and entrepreneur driven by a core commitment to human connection, community empowerment, and cultivating our own joy through art.

My life is deeply shaped by my lived experience as a first-generation Peruvian-American queer woman. Navigating the early adversities tied to these and more, lit a life-long fire in me for social justice and a deep fascination with human psychology. And I found solace and inspiration through my own culture. The colorful boldness of Latinx art and music comforted me in its warmth and empowerment, while the resilience and creative support of my community showed evidence that we can cultivate our own joy. I realized early on that photography could be used in the same way. It can be such a powerful tool for emotional healing and empowerment. And best of all, it has the power to create a space where identity and life is celebrated through fine art.

That is why it is so beautiful and fulfilling to see a client leave the session feeling radiant and seen after starting the photoshoot maybe feeling hesitant or shy. I use my passion to create art and uplift others through my bold concepts and visual storytelling to help people reclaim their confidence. In doing so, we can fuel collective change together, not just through self-love but also through philanthropy, because a percentage of every sale is donated to causes that drive humanity in the right direction. So, let’s create a more beautiful world together by microdosing society with more self-love, joy, and solidarity.
