Senior Creative (Art) | Proud Chicana | Chicago IL
About
Multifaceted Senior Creative and Solo-preneur based in Chicago with 9+ years of experience in agencies of all sizes, corporate in-house, and small design boutiques.
I Believe In
• Building diverse teams
• Collaborating/help break down silos
• Personal business maturity
• Mindful meetings/interactions with team members
• An ego-less atmosphere to help provide the best possible creative solutions
How I Think
With equal parts left and right brain, I’m a curious lifelong learner that loves to dig deep into the “why” and “how”. Brainstorming against problems or objectives and inspiring others to help solve them creatively is my superpower. The smallest details matter just as much as the big picture.
Leadership Style
Servant Leader/Coach. Also, I strive to be a good mentor/mentee, professional growth at all levels is a right, not a privilege.
How I Fill My Cup
You'll most likely find me tending to my e-comm-business (LicuadoWear.com), Aztec dancing in Ceremonial/Cultural events in the Pilsen community and beyond, or exploring all the sights, sounds, and food of Chicago with my familia.
