A life lived between worlds.
Artist. Researcher. Educator. Designer. Storyteller. Maker.
FIRST-GENERATION
Born and raised in Los Angeles, I'm the first in my family to graduate high school, college, and earn a doctorate.
LIFELONG MAKER
Before I was a researcher or designer, I was drawing, building, crafting, and filling notebooks with ideas.
MULTIPLICITY
I've spent much of my life moving between worlds—art and research, creativity and analysis, imagination and strategy.

Multiplicity in Motion
My work lives where research, story, and design meet.
Through my work, I am always asking: Who is visible here? Whose stories are honored? What new futures can we design together?
MCOarts is a home for that ongoing practice—part research, part art, part poetry—rooted in my life as a Latina daughter, single mother, and maker committed to justice and beauty.
I come from struggle and strength.
Mis padres son mi fortaleza.
I'm an Aries, by the way.
