ANDREA SÁENZ BARELA

As a Mexican-American designer based in Houston, Texas, I have spent five years specializing in branding, print, experiential, and digital design. My journey has allowed me to collaborate with non-profit art and cultural institutions, architects, and artists to craft experiences that invite wonder and foster learning within our communities.

Growing up in a multicultural city, I have developed a design approach rooted in empathy and understanding. I weave thoughtfulness into every element of a project with a focus on honest storytelling and inclusivity. My goal is twofold: to ensure my work resonates with people from all walks of life and to make them feel welcomed and valued in the experiences we cultivate together.
