Hi!
I’m Fran

I'm a strategic CREATIVE with over a decade of experience.

People-focused project manager, graphic designer, art director, and creative collaborator with over 10 years of experience. Known for spearheading visually engaging campaigns while building inclusive, high-performing teams.

I excel at bringing cross-functional groups together to streamline workflows and deliver standout creative. Colleagues appreciate my optimism, empathy, and commitment to mentorship. I take pride in advocating for others, facilitating skill-building, and guiding teammates to unlock their full potential. Seeing those around me succeed is what makes me feel most accomplished. I am energized by organizations seeking innovative design leaders who can mentor with compassion and bring out the best in those around them.

I live by the ethos that, to lead, one must serve. This motivates my engagement in advocacy groups, workplace initiatives, and projects that make a difference. My passion for building community led me to found two Employee Resource Groups focused on inclusion. As a leader of Hearst Pride and Latinx ERGs, I worked to foster allyship, amplify underrepresented voices, and coordinate fundraising for LGBTQ+ and Latinx nonprofits. Though rewarding, my proudest achievements are the lifelong connections and friendships built through this work.

Moving forward, I aim to harness my strategic thinking, creative vision, and collaborative spirit to empower future teams.
