Hi! I'm a creative director and art director. I started my career in Ecuador and have worked all the way from Buenos Aires to Miami, Los Angeles and Nashville. I've led teams in independent agencies, content shops and multinational networks, always building strong emotional connections between brands and their audiences, with a keen eye for craft. Not afraid of being hands-on! On the weekends, I play guitar and go mountain biking, usually not at the same time.
