🙋🏻‍♀️

Hey there! 👋

I’m Patricia, a multi-hyphenate creative strategist based in LA.

Currently, I’m a brand strategist and website designer/developer at my own design studio, and I also work as a marketing consultant 👩🏻‍💻.

I’m open to part time & contract roles, or full time Brand Manager positions.

✨

Some facts about me and how I work:

  • I’m equal parts right- & left-brained. I feel most fulfilled when I’m both creative and strategic.

  • I like wearing many hats. I thrive on variety, and I’d rather know a lot about many things than be an expert in ONE thing.

  • I take action. No dawdling here! I’m wired towards getting sh*t done and moving on. Hit me with your deadlines!

  • I’m independent. I perform best when I can take ownership over my own work. Driven by curiosity, many of my skills are self-taught!

  • I value collaboration. My creativity thrives when brainstorming & sharing my work with diverse, open-minded teams.

  • I love being a mentor. Teaching and sharing my skills with others gives me the warm & fuzzies.

I love helping businesses figure out who they are as a brand, and designing creative & strategic campaigns to bring that brand to life.

I’ve worked with businesses of all sizes — from global brands to local businesses — through in-house, agency, and consultancy roles.

Through my experience in marketing strategy and running my own website design studio, I know how to merge strategy & creativity — and I crave both in my career.

These are some of my top skills!
