I’m Renata, an art director from Dallas who currently lives in Los Angeles—but is most likely found assisting on a production.

Throughout my life, I've sought pure enjoyment and community. While this feeling has taken many shapes, it has ultimately nestled its way into my heart in its purest form when I consume media. Over the years, I realized that visual art lives in all of the media I consume. It exists in film, music videos, merchandise, production design, brand experiences, album art, and movie posters–and I want to be the one helping create it.

At UT Austin, I majored in Advertising where I focused on developing my design skills through my program’s creative portfolio sequence and grew into the title I wear proudly: Art Director.

Today, I find myself calling Los Angeles home after I decided to head west and dive headfirst into the world of entertainment through an Art Director’s lens.

In the few moments where my life doesn't completely revolve around logging all the media I consume in my journal and on Letterboxd, I'm most likely found reading, discovering my new favorite matcha latte, laying on the beach, or spending time with my friends and family!
