I create vibrant places through entrepreneurship, design, policy, art, and creativity. As a serial entrepreneur, I’ve founded Viscera Studio, a creative agency focused on place-based storytelling and design; Shop Viscera, a design-forward retail brand featured in SF Chronicle, Thrillist, Racked, and 7×7 Magazine; and Opportuned, a platform empowering small businesses, which was semi-finalist in Pharrell’s highly competitive Black Ambition Prize.
As a creative, I partner with brands to develop one-of-a-kind collaborations, including limited products, content creation, and experiential activations that bring stories to life in meaningful ways. As an artist, I transform spaces through murals, fine art, and sculpture. My work has been commissioned by Salesforce, Google, and the San Francisco General Hospital Foundation, integrating creativity into the built environment.
With a BA in architecture (USF) and Master’s in city planning (UC Berkeley), I bridge business, design, and policy to drive impact. I serve on the SPUR Board, Community Works West Board, and am a member of ULI and the American Planning Association. I also speak on entrepreneurship, urbanism, and creativity, having presented at Lean Startup Conference, NYCxDesign, and Black is Tech.

¿Te pasa que quieres publicar en redes pero no sabes qué decir ni cómo crearlo? ¿Sientes que tienes mil ideas, pero ninguna se concreta? Esta clase de dos sesiones está pensada para emprendedoras que quieren dejar de improvisar y empezar a crear contenido con más seguridad y claridad.
En estas dos sesiones aprenderás un método sencillo para organizar tus ideas y convertirlas en contenido que realmente represente tu marca. Te mostraré cómo planear sin estrés, cómo generar ideas que no se acaben y cómo crear gráficos y videos básicos sin necesidad de ser diseñadora o experta en edición. Saldrás con una estructura clara y herramientas prácticas para crear contenido de forma constante y sin frustración.
