Cartoon me (on the right) in The New Yorker for Escape From Hell
Hey there! I'm glad you stopped by.
Let me give you a quick snapshot of who I am. I was born in the U.S. to South American parents, and from an early age, I found myself acting as the family translator—helping my grandparents and relatives bridge the gap with locals, both through words and visuals. It’s no surprise that this knack for communication turned into my career.
I've had the privilege of working with some amazing clients, both locally and globally, at agencies like BBDO NY, Y&R, VML, Grey NY, McCann, Publicis, Digitas, Elephant, and even Superheroes in Amsterdam. Now, I’ve switched gears and am riding on the brand side at Harley-Davidson. Along the way, my work has picked up some awards, but what I’m most proud of is the thumbs-up from my parents.
When I’m not at work, you’ll find me teaching at Miami Ad School, sharing what I’ve learned with the next wave of creatives. And when I’m not doing that, I’m usually diving into passions projects.
So, that’s me in a nutshell. What about you?
