Monica Viramontes

Artist, Designer, Author & Founder

The way we speak to each other can move us more deeply than anything else in the world.

Hi there, I'm Monica!  I'm the founder of Evolving By Design, home to creative transformation.
I provide
 meaningful person-centered activities by combining social-emotional work with creative sessions for individuals with disabilities and big goals.  

Having undergone a series of creative and personal transformations led me to design ways to provide intentional creative exploration that illuminates our natural strengths.

I left a career in commercial design to answer my calling in personal artistry. Through the mess, I've discovered a passion for teaching others how creativity enhances how we experience life. 
My mission is to help others express themselves while building a community filled with purpose.

Welcome to Evolving By Design!
