About Gabriela Martinez

I\'ve always been interested in creative pursuits, and from a young age I knew I wanted to be an artist. I\'m a designer because it gives me the opportunity to create things that are equally beautiful and as they are functional. From traditional print media to interaction design, I\'m incredibly passionate about this industry because I enjoy the creative outlet, constant challenges and emotional payoff of helping others though visually-appealing work. When not working you can find me at the gym, paddle-boarding on Lady Bird Lake or curled up on the couch between two cats. I\'m a self-proclaimed animal whisperer, wanna-be wine connoisseur, and I pride myself on making the best breakfast tacos and how quickly I can finish a case of Topo Chico.
