ABOUT

I am a seasoned Creative Director, Graphic Designer, and Studio Artist with a passion for inspiring creativity and innovation through design and education. With over a decade of experience leading branding, interactive design, and marketing initiatives at Barcellos Design, I’ve worked with small businesses, nonprofits, and Fortune 500 companies to deliver visually compelling, goal-oriented solutions across diverse media platforms. My expertise lies in blending creative vision with technical proficiency to craft impactful designs that resonate with audiences.


As an Arts, Media & Entertainment educator at Farmersville High School since 2017, I leverage my professional experience to develop and implement project-based curricula in Graphic Design, Web Design, New Media Design, and Leadership. My teaching integrates industry-standard tools like Adobe Creative Suite, Google Workspace, and Generative AI, ensuring students are equipped with real-world skills. Rooted in instructional frameworks such as A.D.D.I.E. and Universal Design for Learning, my lessons are designed to be engaging, accessible, and transformative.

With a Master of Arts in Education Technology from Cal State LA, I bridge the gap between creative practice and educational innovation. Whether directing dynamic design projects or cultivating the next generation of creative professionals, my mission is to inspire, empower, and deliver meaningful results that make a lasting impact.
