“Because of PNCA, I look at systemic change through the eye of a designer. Where in the interconnected web of systems that govern our lives — political, economic, social — is there cause for intervention, and how might we design solutions with those who are affected most?”
What’s next: I'm eager to put my degree to the test wherever design is needed, either in creative design/marketing or in continued music advocacy work following my thesis.
“Because of PNCA, I feel more confident and prepared as a creative and designer to tackle the world's wicked problems with my communities.”
What’s next: For the past three years, I've been a talent development and inclusion strategist at OMSI. Post graduation, I hope to embed more of my creative and design practices into my current role, with an emphasis on design justice and participatory frameworks. Additionally, I hope to provide more free, community-based, and design-focused workshops through my org, Portland Through a Latinx Lens.
“Because of PNCA, I found a supportive community that gave me the feedback and guidance I needed in order to develop confidence in both my creative skills and the ability to talk about the deeper conceptual nature of my work. This confidence, combined with the entrepreneurial aspects of the program, allows me to leave school with a clear idea of how to move forward in order to find a fulfilling career in the arts.”
What’s next: Small business owner at BBOBBO Studio and continuing education instructor at Portland Community College.
