I have had a successful career in commercial art creating characters, stories and art for studios like Disney, Universal and Spin Master. While I am very grateful for those opportunities, no project has been more satisfying and rewarding than creating Kiki Kokí as an homage to my beloved Puerto Rico. I am thrilled, honored and humbled that my books have been so well received on and off the island. I hope that my endeavors to create stories for the children of the island inspires, encourages and motivates the island's future creators.
