Sometimes, I get asked if Lia is short for anything, but nope--that's it! Born and raised in Miami, I ventured out to Detroit, MI where I studied design and eventually got my feet wet in the advertising industry. After calling the Motor City home for over 6 years, I returned back to that warm Miami sun for while (winter driving is NOT it). Now I'm in Chicago, where winter driving still isn't it 😂
In regards to my design practice, I enjoy being hands-on throughout the creative process, and my design chops from past experience have helped immensely in my switch to product. I enjoy trying to solve problems and coming up with simple solutions. Afterwards, packing the user experience in a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing designed package is the frosting on the cake. I've been described as resourceful, detail-oriented and reliable while being humble and fun to work with.
When I'm not working on projects or furthering my design knowledge, I'm either practicing my digital art, watching anime or visiting cool eateries and shooting Instagram worthy foodie pics.
Feel free to reach out if you want to chat design or grab coffee in the greater Chicago area.
