About Me

I love art, I worked my ass off for my bachelors degree in graphic design. I design DVD boxcovers, magazine ads, posters, ...just about anything I can be creative with!!!! I FREE-LANCE fulltime as graphic designer and started my own clothing line which has always been my dream since about 9yrs old!!! (and I love it which is all that matters! I get to be creative everyday and it makes me happy!I'm a spicey Cuban with a big heart (sometimes to big) I love to live life to the fullest and experience everything at least once!!! HEE HEE......I'm always happy, full of energy ans passion...this usually makes people think I'm fake (usually girls!) of course, I'm not happy ALL the time but when I wake up in the morning with a smile on my face- feeling HIGH on life that is me!!!!!! I can't help it nor should I! I've always had to over compensate for others insecurities- and I can't do that ever AGAIN! and I love being myself and real always! ....I've always had problems with girls. .STANDARD.....but I'll never be tainted by it. That would be giving in to the haters and thats what they want (to bring you down but it feeds me the desire to work harder and makes me stronger... I still try to openly except women into my life hoping to find cool girls I can hang with, that bring positivity into my life, that want the best for me and that DON"T HATE! Girls...HELLO.....we're supposed to be on the same team......society has us competing against eachother!........... Everyone has a time to shine...... ??? why be envious?? when it just holds you back from loving yourself and being happy! Even guys who are horn dogs have some kinda loyalty (sometimes).I adore animals!!!-sometimes more than humans!:) I love fashion, photgraphy, learning about diffent cultures -how people live in different countries... I love to travel...& AM gonna live in either Maui, Hawaii or the Amalfi Coast in Italy when I retire!!!! I love history, all kinds, but mainly the things we are not taught in school, real shit....I love Cuba and its spirit....I can't even describe the way it makes me feel when I think of this once, magical place that both my parents are from and even though I've never been there I'm so moved by it and will be there soon!...the music, the people, the culture...ahhhhhhhh...someday!There are so many different stages I went through in my life that I havn't thought about for so long like my punk rock days, to the Glam era....hangin' out on the strip with all the crazy bands!!!!!! My friends Kelly, Danyelli and Jamie (god rest her soul)! How did I date guys who wore more make-up than me????? Then there was my hippie era livin in Ocean Beach, San Diego with my partna in crime Amela-.....all natural, listening to Bob and learning how to surf! Then there was Maui Hawaii, surfing real waves that kicked my ass, learning humilty, how material things mean nothing, no car, no TV, what a learning experience! then back to LA- back to reality -BACK TO THE CONCRETE JUNGLE.......that I can't paint coconuts and sell them on the beach for the rest of my life! I was born n raised In Los Angeles and though everyone wants to come here, I can't wait to leave.... BUT THE JOURNEY HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE-and its all about the journey KIDS!!! Also My dream (my clothing line) "DIRTY PINK" is being sold at "The Basement LA on Ventura Blvd"...I'm sooo excited Its girly but still rough and Dirty with an edge!! please come show your support!And the most important things in the world to me is my FAMILY, my best friend/ex-fiance Robert..CUBA (our chihuahua)...ME AND MY HERO-MY MOM!!!MY AMAZING PARENTS THAT ARE SO ROMANTICAL!!!!ALWAYS WILL BE DADDY'S LIL GIRL!!!!SO LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH AN AMAZING FAMILY!!!!!living life to the fullest and SUCCEEDING in the DREAM I had since I was 7yrs old! (having my own clothing line) "Dirty Pink", remembering what really matters in this crazy world= like the relationships we make while we're here and events that touch us, AND NEVER STOP GROWING- THE SECOND YOU THINK YOU KNOW EVERYTHING IS THE SECOND YOU KNOW NOTHING!!!!,I always try to be open and HUMBLE, to take risks although I know I may fail but realize- that it was worth the experience IF YOU'VE learned from it!!! -ITS THE ANSWER TO SUCCESS!!!!!!!!! try to not MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE (even though sometimes we have to learn the hard way.... -----NOTHING THAT IS WORTH WHILE IS EASY....humans like to repeat the same behavior and excpect a different outcome =which is the defintion of insanity..call us crazy (lol.we are),and of course appreciating how beautiful LIFE itself can be and actually taking the moment to realize it, as often as you can!!!!I'm such a lil dork...seeHERE'S A TASTE INTO CUBANCOOKIE'S WORLD...although I have experienced amazing times, hangin out at the Mansion,Crazy events and people I've partied with (I could write a book about) hmmm?lol (good times Good times lol), THESE PICS MIGHT PORTRAY ME AS SOMEONE WHO'S INTO THE LA HYPE BULLSHIT BUT ITS JUST ONE ASPECT OF MANY THINGS I'VE DONE.....JUST HAVIN FUN WHICH I DO AT ANY EVENT I GO TO NO MATTER WHERE OR WHO'S THER!!!
