I am a proud Mexican-American woman. I am a graphic designer. The two identities are inextricable. My cultural heritage is the lens through which I perceive issues that are important to the Mexican-American community. My design practice enables me to address such issues, many of which are as demeaning as they are intransigent. Generations of Mexican-Americans have contributed to America’s burgeoning economies, working long hours for low wages (one of many indignities), and yet the Mexican-American community remains marginalized. As a designer, I make visible that which remains unseen and give voice to that which remains unheard. Working in various media, I seek to inform, inspire, and embolden my community. Doing so, I aim to intensify the interest and deepen the understanding of a culture that is rich, vibrant, indelible and vital to the ever-unfolding cultural history that makes America: Mexican-Americans.
