The Emma S. Barrientos Mexican American Cultural Center opened in Austin, Texas in 2007 after decades of community effort. From 2007-2012, I had the honor of working as the center's first one-man art department, and established the original branding, tone, and voice of all marketing efforts. The center offers educational programming, festivals, and gallery exhibitions throughout the year. Some of my favorite projects are listed below.
