Damian is a New York City–based designer and illustrator whose work is deeply influenced by his Guatemalan heritage and the experience of growing up in a large, close-knit family of fifteen. Family and community remain central themes in his creative approach, often informing the stories and perspectives embedded in his work.

Having lived in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and New York, Damian brings a broad and adaptable perspective to his practice, working across a range of industries and creative disciplines. He is especially grateful for the opportunities to collaborate with diverse teams and clients.

Damian credits much of his growth to the friends, collaborators, and mentors who have supported and guided him throughout his journey.
