As a seasoned Motion Designer, Video Editor, and Art Director with over a decade of experience, I bring expertise in creating captivating video content, dynamic motion graphics, storytelling, and compelling brand narratives. My skills in concept development, design execution, and team management ensure successful oversight of large-scale projects, meeting budget and timeline requirements.
Hailing from a family of artists in Latin America, creativity is ingrained in my DNA, and I approach work with genuine empathy, fostering collaborative partnerships with industry leaders. With roots in New York City's marketing agency sector, I've honed my skills and contributed to prestigious museum exhibitions in Europe.
Beyond the studio, I find fulfillment in contributing to art therapy for young minorities, nature and cultivating a passion for electronic music and synthesizers. Eager to bring my dedication and unique perspective to the design industry, I am poised to contribute my proven track record and innovative solutions to any creative team.
