Hi there!
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 a while (winter driving is NOT it). Now I'm in Chicago, where winter driving still ain't it 😂
In regards to my design practice, I love 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 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 enjoy traveling, practicing my art, watching anime, or updating my Insta feed with mouthwatering foodie pics from tasty restaurants.
Feel free to reach out if you want to chat design or grab coffee in the greater Chicago area.
