About my Studio

Who I am

I was born in Hialeah Florida and raised in Miami, where I first fell in love with art through graffiti. That early connection to the streets still fuels everything I create—from painting with acrylics and oils to building miniature urban environments. My work is all about capturing raw, lived-in textures—whether it's through a layered canvas or a weathered miniature wall covered in tags, rust, and decay.

I’m a master screen printer and used to work at JanSport, where I honed my skills in design and production. Today, I channel that experience into my own clothing line, Upful Creations, where I design and hand-print every graphic and logo. It’s a full-circle expression of who I am—part artist, part maker, part storyteller.

For the past decade, I’ve been focused on creating urban miniatures—small-scale scenes that feel like real, gritty corners of the world. Each piece is an exploration of memory, place, and the beauty found in overlooked details. I earned my BFA in Painting and Illustration from the University of Florida, and ever since, I’ve been committed to blurring the lines between fine art, street culture, and hands-on craftsmanship.
