ABOUT
I’m a multidisciplinary creative designer with ample experience In creative & art direction. I have a passion for creating visual concepts that get to be developed and applied to 360 campaigns, non-traditional or traditional, with the ultimate purpose of creating a positive impact on the client or end customer. With over 20 yrs. of extensive experience as a strategic creative/art director I’ve worked in advertising, corporate branding, marketing & communications; taking multidisciplinary products/services from concept to design.
I have an eye for innovation and detail, while keeping up with the latest design trends, I've worked with world-class brands such as Discovery Channel, Nintendo, P&G, Nestlé, Unilever, Sony, Motorola, Gillette, L'Oreal, Harman/Kardon, Beats, Apple, Xfinity, Lowe’s, Peloton and T-Mobile – to name a few.
Although my skill set is vast, my greatest expertise revolves in the world of creative direction for brand identity design, photography, print collateral, trade-show, video, motion graphics and UI/UX direction, and creative content development. The work I do showcases both the passion I have for visual communication and the power to seek solutions that will create a positive impact and experience for the final customer. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Communication & Advertising, attended the University of Hartford and Miami Dade College with specialization in Arts and Design.
On a personal note, I was born and raised in Venezuela, have been living in the U.S for the past 22 years. Fluent in English and Spanish, and now learning Italian. On my off time, my son and I share the love of outdoor activities and various ways of entertainment. Also have a passion for running and have completed seven half marathons in recent years, leading to a growing passion for triathlons. I've now accomplished several triathlons in the last few years, I can now call myself a triathlete. I have set a goal for myself to complete an Ironman in less than five years.
