I AM KHRIS

I am Khris, a latino art director from Los Angeles, CA. Check out my professional portfolio and let's connect!... When I was ten, my mom enrolled me in the coolest secret club ever - AYSO. We had colorful uniforms, ate orange slices at halftime of our games, watched all the Joga Bonito commercials and dreamed about wearing Ronaldo's boots. The original Ronaldo of course... But far too often, I felt like I was alone. My parents had to work all the time to provide for my brothers and I. Translating for them, navigating homework on my own, and trying to fit in where there were few Salvadoran Americans like me were just some other requirements of my role as the firstborn. I was a shy little kid that was always weighed down by high expectations, and the feelings of belonging to something were few and far in between.
