About

I Believe Our Inner World Creates Our Outer World

I felt deeply called to find a way to use my skills and abilities to give back, and it has become the most transformational chapter of my life.

Life is a journey filled with endless opportunities to learn and grow. When we open ourselves to possibilities, we invite transformation and unlock the beauty of what’s possible.

As a lifelong learner and lover of books, my artwork reflects so many of my passions: art, psychology, wellness, mindset work, manifestation, mantras, and affirmations. 

Every piece is created with the intention to support the mind, body, and soul.

Through Purposeful Dreamer, I’ve built a space where I can give back, share my journey, and connect with other Purposeful Dreamers seeking inspiration and self-transformation.

On a Mission to Inspire

Each product I design carries a message—to inspire joy, peace, and the courage to follow your dreams at any stage of life.

These creations are personal reminders of the lessons and perspectives that have shaped my journey, and I hope they bring the same sense of inspiration to you.

Though I’ve been an artist my entire life (my first project was a kindergarten mural!), it wasn’t until I turned 35 that I truly embraced my identity as an artist. This shift transformed how I see myself and my purpose, leading to the creation of Purposeful Dreamer.

With over a decade of experience in entrepreneurship, HR, and customer service, I’ve poured all my skills into creating a brand that blends art, heart, and service.

Committed to High Quality and Sustainable Products

At Purposeful Dreamer, sustainability is woven into everything I do. I’ve partnered with Printful, an on-demand printing service, to minimize overproduction and reduce waste. By producing only what’s ordered, we lower our environmental footprint while delivering high-quality, meaningful designs.

Other sustainability practices include:

  • Eco-Friendly Packaging: Whenever possible, we use recycled and plastic-free materials for packaging.

  • Upcycled Creations: Unique, one-of-a-kind pieces crafted from repurposed materials, giving them new life and purpose.

  • Green Inspiration: Each design is thoughtfully created to inspire not only transformation in your life but also positive change for our planet.

By choosing Purposeful Dreamer, you’re not only supporting a small business but also joining a movement of intentional living and mindful choices that benefit our world. Learn more about our sustainability practices here

Collaborating, Support, Giving back

Giving back is at the heart of everything I do. I actively collaborate with other artists and small businesses to celebrate creativity and personal growth. By working together, we uplift each other's purpose and support a shared vision of empowerment and inspiration.

I’m also committed to bringing more creative voices into the Purposeful Dreamer store, offering a platform to showcase the unique work of others. This collaboration allows me to share diverse talents with our community, amplifying the beauty and creativity that exists in the world.

  • A little repurposed art project I was working on over the weekend 🌊🏄‍♀️This was the fin from my first ever paddle board, it was one of those inflatable ones and I loved it until it exploded in the sun one day from being too old 😅 I’ve always wanted to experiment more with repurposing things and this was the perfect thing. Can’t wait for my fist real paddle board one day! #purposefuldreamer #repurposedart #surfart #paddleboarding #artlover

Earlier this year I took a much needed mommy scape to visit my sisters in El Salvador and my oldest sister, my niece and I went to this awesome book store looking for some Spanish books and when my sister came across this one she told me I couldn’t pass this lifetime without reading this book and now that I’ve read it, I agree with her! @gapinedaa

Lean into Gratitude 

Inspired by my art design, on my blog I share a few simple ideas to:

-Bring a gratitude practice into action
-A little bit of my journey through anxiety and depression and how this practice changed my life.
-And a little science-backed research on gratitude.

A gratitude practice not only makes us happier and healthier but builds resilience and keeps life in perspective.

I can say, with confidence, that I can find strength and joy again and again when I LEAN INTO GRATITUDE. The easiest way is to notice the present moment, like breathing, walking, or having our loved ones with us but if we make this a practice, it can become a beautiful tool for life. 

Gratitude is one of the highest vibrational frequencies, as Dr. Wayne Dyer and other amazing authors suggest. 

To me, it feels like a protective, beautiful shield that strengthens us to face life’s challenges. It’s a magical energy that reminds us of what’s truly important.
 
By shopping in my store PurposefulDreamer.CO, you help my small business and make my dreams come true for me and my family, and I truly appreciate it with all my heart.

I hope my message inspires you to find your own gratitude practice today 💜💜💜 #purposefuldreamer #gratitudepractice #gratitude #thankfulgratefulblessed #dreamer #wellnessjourney #perspective
  • I had this book saved on my Amazon list for a couple of years bc I love this author and he had mentioned his children books, than one day I randomly found it for $1 at a thrift shop I decided to stop by last minute! And what’s even more special is that it’s become our little Salvador’s favorite book every night to read, he says “me” “me” and I know this is the book he wants… Little did I know this book has been  helpful for us too 🪷⏳🥰 because so many of these steps I wish I knew sooner! 😅 Any inspiring and uplifting children’s books you can recommend? 📚 #booklover #favoritebooks @drwaynedyer 10 ways to soar through life
  • I’m at lack of words to express a ton here today so I’m going let my art speak for itself as I feel it was preparing me for this day… I can only focus on what I can control and lean into my art today to make sense of the things I can’t express or make sense for myself.  It feels scary and complicated to share with my words and my art because I fully respect whatever your believes are in life and this election as it does not define us. I am so blessed with friends and family on both sides of the spectrum that I know in my heart were only doing what they felt was right in their hearts… What’s good or bad is not up to me, I can only focus on what I can control starting with taking care of myself to continue to be there for the ones I love the most 🙏 #purposefuldreamer #wellnessjourney #arttherapy #immigrantlife #netherthelessshepersisted

  • Wishing you an amazing week, lots of uncertainty and changes in the air this week but when I lean into gratitude and trust I feel so much better… Gratitude can be such a powerful and simple tool to bring us back to a better state of mind 🙏🧡🧡🧡 Checkout my latest post to learn more about Gratitude #gratitude #gratitudepractice #neuroplasticity #purposefuldreamer #trust
