  • About

    I am an experienced advertising and interactive, hands-on Creative/Art director with substantial experience in the creative development and strategy of corporate identities, print and interactive media.

    I have worked with a wide range of corporate and consumer accounts for national and international clients such as: Hewlett Packard, Microsoft Latin America, Mariott Hotels, Motorola Latin America, Citibank FSB, BankAtlantic, Sony Electronics and Sony Latin America, Citrix, Dole Fruits, Novation, Marshalls, Transitions Lenses, Palace Resorts and McDonald’s South California among others.

    I have extensive experience working with Real Estate, Travel & Leisure, B2B, Latin American and U.S. Hispanics markets. I have an endless passion for great design, strategically sound creative concepts and strong brand development.

    I believe in the synergy of strategic thinking and strong creative concepts in order to create memorable and result-driven marketing and advertising campaigns. I am passionate about what I do and committed to a higher level of creative work and culture.
