Muriel has been a vivacious, loving and creative person ever since she was a little girl. She loved to observe and find unusual rocks, collect banana stickers and discover new shapes in every cloud. Her paintings were full of life and color. These abilities have characterized her entire life, and have grown through new knowledge and experiences. 

She attended Isthmus University in Panama and earned a Bachelors Degree in Marketing and Advertising Business Management. In 1997 she continued studies in Video Production at The Art Institute of Phoenix in Arizona, where she graduated with an Associates Degree, while also receiving the Award for Best Portfolio.  She worked with FranklinCovey Panama as the Corporate Brand & Image Specialist for six years. She was responsible for the design of high-quality creative marketing and educational projects involving advertising campaigns too.

Since 2005 she has worked as a freelance graphic designer for corporations, small business firms, independent professionals, and Christian ministries.

She seeks inspiration from God for her work and always finds ways to contribute with her talents to benefit the projects of non-profit organizations.  Muriel has designed and remodeled the interior of a Christian School, turning it from a red-light bar into an enriched  learning environment.

When not in Phoenix, she is traveling with her husband, Joshua, learning about other cultures and taking pictures with her pinhole Holga camera.
