Hey ya’ll.
I’m a Creative Art Director based in Chicago.
Lets work together.
A bit about me…
I’m half Ecuadorian, raised in the good ol’ Midwest USA. Growing up between cultures was as inspiring as it was challenging, but I realized creativity transcends the barriers of language and became obsessed with all forms of it.
From painting, writing, animation, cooking, photography, sculpture – whatever I could get my hands on, I dabbled in it.
Now, I’ve made a career out of collaborating with incredibly talented people from all over the world to create work that matters, and that’s pretty damn cool.
I thrive in the chaos of production, care deeply about craft, and the people I work with – especially when it comes to mentoring the next generation of creatives.
I’m currently an Associate Creative Director (art) at BarkleyOKRP, working on Burger King and Metro by T-Mobile.
