About Me
I'm a Senior Graphic Designer on Foothill's Marketing Department, and I spend my off hours building things to scare people. The two jobs have more in common than you'd think. Both are about making people feel something before they know why.
I was born and raised in Southwest Texas and left for the University of Texas at Austin, where I earned a BA in Theater. I wrote, directed, and acted in plays across Austin, Seattle, and San Francisco, and taught myself graphic design through independent study and good mentors. In San Francisco I worked in nonprofits and built a design career that now spans more than 25 years, the last decade of it here at Foothill.
Film is my other obsession, especially horror, period dramas, and foreign cinema. In 2024 I wrote, directed, shot, and edited my first short horror film, and in Spring 2025 I graduated from Foothill with an AS-T in Film, TV and Media Studies. What started as watching turned into making.
At home, my workshop is where spooky ideas take shape. My theater training now plays out as an annual Halloween yard haunt, in its 18th season and winner of the City of Santa Clara's Best of the Best Award in 2024. For the last five years, I've focused on Mexican folklore and cultural traditions, blending installation art and storytelling into an immersive experience. The companion site, SenorScary.com, is where I document my work and practice web design, writing, photography, social media, and marketing.
After years of building scary things, I've learned not to fear what comes next.
