Hi, I’m Gera (heh-duh).
I create stories, experiences, and products for brands that want to go beyond the General Market.
Oh, and I also write and illustrate bilingual children’s books for my brand, ¡Sí Sabo! Kids
And, and, and, I’m also the illustrator, art director, package designer, and social media design person at Millenial Lotería
Anyway, let’s meet. Let’s make something cool.
