Welcome to my virtual nook!
Hi, I’m Von! Currently, I'm a communications and digital organizer for the FMTK Central Labor Council, striving to empower community members and unions through collective education and action.
I’ve worked with Camino Athletes, Central Valley Partnership, The Modesto Focus, The Merced Focus, The Objective, Mindful Indulgence and Design Friends.
I'm a Cal Poly San Luis Obispo alum. On campus, I was an Advertising Design Manager at Mustang Media Group and an Editorial Graphic Designer for Mustang News, creating print layouts, data visualizations and social media illustrations. I also designed for Cal Poly’s Campus Health and Wellbeing, managed web, media and marketing for the Pilipino Cultural Exchange, photographed for Lambda Sigma Gamma, and was involved with Students for Quality Education and the Mat Pica Pi design club.
I got my start in multimedia design through Sanger High’s Digital Arts and Media pathway and Reedley College's Upward Bound program.
When I'm not fine-tuning an Illustrator file, you can find me binge-watching Hacks or The Bear, or jamming out to Olivia Rodrigo and Doechii.
