THE TEAM

I joined Isetta after working in corporate advertising as a Communications Designer for KPMG and Whole Foods. I had always had my eyes set on working in corporate communications but quickly realized that if I wanted to make an impact and leave my mark, I had to go back to working with startups. At Isetta, I work at the intersection of design, positioning, and PR. I love seeing brands come to life through typography and reaching audiences across the States through earned media.

Born in Honduras, and raised between the US, Latin America, and Europe, I have perfected the art of packing light and connecting with people from all backgrounds. Food to me has always been a comfort from home and a way to integrate myself into the culture — chopped cheeses from NYC, mayan cuisine from Yucatan, alpaca meat from Peru, guinea pigs from Ecuador. Art and design, on the other hand, gave me a voice and a way to communicate with people when I didn’t understand the language or the culture. At Isetta, I love being able to show a brand’s value rather than say it. When I’m not working, I love spending time trying to find hole in the wall restaurants, visiting galleries, and making playlists for every mood and occasion.
