Coming soon. Sing with Me. In this queer rom-com set in Mexico, sparks fly when a pair of siblings meet their matches: two fierce players training for the upcoming charrería nationals. Publication is scheduled for 2025 by Chronicle Books.

About



I’m a queer Mexican freelance illustrator with a passion for comics, a degree in Graphic Design from my local public university, and a special love for contemporary stories with a strong cultural background, for sci-fi, and for fantasy—all with a good portion of queer romance and self-discovery within them. I love to explore ideas and emotions through visual narrative and I'm open to illustration, comic book and picturebook projects.
