About Me
MY FRIENDS CALL ME MURPHY...
I started my career in the design world, working in creative agencies in Mexico City across branding, web design, and digital projects. Over time, I took on more responsibility and eventually founded LCTB — a boutique branding studio where I led creative direction, client strategy, and end-to-end project execution.
I’m naturally drawn to understanding systems — how small decisions influence larger outcomes.
I enjoy working in fast-paced environments, solving problems, and bringing clarity to complex situations.

I recently completed an intensive Data Analytics program at TripleTen, building hands-on expertise in Python, SQL, Tableau, and machine learning — adding a rigorous technical foundation to over a decade of creative and strategic work.
I hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from SCAD, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude.
