me in a nutshell ʕっ•ᴥ•ʔっ

background

Hey! I'm Adrian —born and raised in Los Angeles and currently wrapping up my Design Media Arts degree at UCLA + an Entrepreneurship minor. My work lives at the intersection of design, culture, and tech, from launching Flux, a decentralized social app to fight doomscrolling, to organizing design career panel events that help creatives find their spark. (Ask me about Design Your Future!)

Whether I'm prototyping in Figma, animating in Blender, or building MVPs in React Native, I'm driven by a simple idea: make design more human, more accessible, and more fun & intentional.

the fun stuff

Outside of design, I'm probably powerlifting at the gym, rowing at sunrise, or learning piano (Finally!! Shoutout to UCLA Rec). I'm into speculative worldbuilding, designing streetwear, and making things with friends that feel a little rebellious (in the best way).

  • Favorite midnight bite: carne asada fries
  • Guilty pleasure: watching productivity YouTubers instead of being productive
  • Currently looping: Logic, Fred again.., Kendrick, and Omar Apollo
