“To know me is to know that I strive to do everything I can with meaning and purpose. When it came time to design our campaign logo, I intentionally wanted to work with a Latinx designer to create an authentic brand that reflects my heritage, recognizes our community and empowers our movement. I met with Yunuén Sigler, a Latinx visual designer based in Austin, who specializes in identity and graphic design. I fell in love with her work and was even more impressed with Yunuén’s passion and professionalism. She has talent and ganas! She captured everything I wanted in our campaign logo.” -Vanessa Fuentes
