My name is Kel. I am from San Dimas, Ca. I am the only child of a Chilean Immigrant family. I grew up with a very colorful family environment. I was raised with Chilean, American and Persian influences. I was born on Halloween with a family that was heavily Gothic. Halloween is a big holiday in my household.

​

I've traveled to many countries and even lived in Florence, Italy for a semester. My next goal is to go to Iceland. I love the outdoors, especially forests. I dream of the Redwood forest from my childhood constantly. This has lead me to collecting a large amount of plants to bring that feeling of nature into my own home.

​

I enjoy a good story about overcoming hardships and surpassing expectations. I like to explore the emotions in my work of these themes and would love to express feelings in character design and gesture. I want a career that promotes growth and challenges me everyday.
