I was born in Merced, California to a large hispanic family that, for the most part, was below the poverty line. I didn’t have much, but what I did have, was a strong support system. A major role in that support system was my high school art teacher Mrs. Rivard who, with her own money, purchased all the necessary equipment and subscriptions to start a graphic design class. She went around her AP art class and quite literally forced several students to sign up. I was hooked immediately. I moved to Las Vegas when I was 19 to attend the Art Institute, where I later graduated and met my future business partners. I have since worked for a few companies and most recently started our very own creative agency, BeaconEvo.com.

This journey has been absolutely insane and I have loved every minute of it.
