She studied graphic design at St. Edward’s University where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design degree.

As Art Director at Deeds Not Words, she launched the organizations first Artist in Residency program with a focus on art and activism. Through this program Edith provides mentorship to young artists and  guides them in creating art that centers their narratives. As a strong believer in education and the power of telling your own story, Edith launched The Galvanizer, a zine by young people for young people. While Edith provides all creative direction for the Galvanizer and handles the printing and design for each issue, the young members of Deeds student chapters write and create the content.  From using personal experience to educate people about the TX Lege to demystifying sex myths, The Galvanizer harnesses their power and allows them to take control of their own stories.

As an artist herself, Edith is dedicated to making spaces for young artists to thrive and bring awareness to the arts’ essential role in shifting culture and making change.
