I like to have fun. And I like pretty things. But most of all, I enjoy making people's lives easier. Hence, the design career. 

I grew up in Austin, TX and I recently graduated with a B.A. in Visual Art & Business Economics from Brown University. Fun fact: both of my parents have extremely thick Texan accents but I sound like I've never even been to the South. My friends from college are fascinated by this phenomenon...

In the last few years, I've held a product design position, a creative advertising internship, and I've worked as a freelance graphic designer. Now, I'm looking for a full-time position where I can hone my skills, create meaningful change, and learn from my mentors. 

Lastly, you should know I adore oil painting—so very much! If someone handed me a bunch of painting supplies and a pair of headphones, I think I could entertain myself for the rest of my life. I also love writing, dancing, and going to concerts with my friends back home in Austin (the Live Music Capital of the World, as they say 𓃗 𐚁₊⊹).

I hope you enjoy my work! Look around. Stay a while. Reach me at riley_cruzcosa@alumni.brown.edu
