About me

I’m Gaby. I come equipped with a string of awards and a multifaceted skillset. As a proud self-made Latina, I didn’t just graduate with a Bachelor’s in Graphic Design from the Art Institute of Washington; I also earned the ‘Best Portfolio’ title in my class.

My career journey has been about crafting memorable brand narratives and leading creative teams that push boundaries. As a Director of Design, I oversee and lead production on every creative project, from conceptualization and competitive analysis to art direction and execution. It’s not enough for me to simply meet a design brief; I aim to enhance it.

Collaboration is fundamental to our world. Through it, I seamlessly bring together design teams and stakeholders, ensuring our creative direction remains sharp and consistent. I make the vital technical decisions to guarantee exceptional outcomes.

If a creative trailblazer is what you need to manifest your vision, you’ve found her.
