I began my studies as a Computer Engineer in the Mayagüez Campus of the University of Puerto Rico. Though I enjoyed computers and engineering, I also had a passion for art and design.
During my first two years, I also took many optional courses in Art, and I eventually decided to move to a university specializing in graphic design, where I got my BA in Graphic Arts and my Master's Degree in Digital Graphic Design. Of course, my other passion for computers never left me, so I also got certified in Windows Operating Systems, and I have taught myself several programming languages using what I learned with Flash Actionscript as the base.
I currently have my own business, a consultation firm specializing in graphic design, e-learning, and Windows PC maintenance.
