Anastacia Uriegas was born and raised in San Antonio, first as a curious only child, then a goth teenager, and eventually a fine art photographer. The daughter of a marketing veteran, Anastacia followed suit by interning at the seventh largest Hispanic advertising agency in the US and later serving as Creative Director for a boutique (aka tiny) marketing firm for over a decade. After moving to Austin, she found herself immersed in the city’s food and drink community as a freelance writer, graphic designer, and photographer. Anastacia lives in East Austin with her very patient husband, a couple of kitties, and beloved dog-children who bear striking resemblances to Ewoks.
