Hey Hey,So this is a small part of my story. I was born in New Jersey, lived most of my life in

Guatemala. When I turned 18, I had a flamenco calling and moved to Spain. I been living in

Spain for the last 5 years, and had the wonderful opportunity to travel, study, work and

develop a good palate. :)

I am a Graphic Designer as well as an Art Director. I have been an Art Director for over a

year at SWING SWING, a multidisciplinary agency based in Madrid. During my time here I’ve

had the great fortune of learning first hand, from some of the most talented and award

winning creatives in the Spanish industry, while working on a diverse portfolio of products

for clients such as: Brugal (Rum), Cambridge (English Academy), Gayubo (Jewelry brand),

Linea Directa (Insurance), Leer magazine for the (Ministry of Education), and The Craft

Shoes Company (Brazilian footwear), among others.

I graduated from Miami Ad School’s Graphic Design Program, last October. Since then, I’ve

kept my desire to learn new techniques, and ventured into taking airbrush and silkscreen

print classes. Printing and painting techniques are some of my greatest loves. I’m a very

curious person and I’m constantly trying to learn something new. I’m always looking for

different methods to resolve visual problems, and I love playing with all kinds

of materials.

My goals are simple: to create, to inspire, to give my best in every project that comes

my way, professional and personal. I want to learn from talented people and absorb every

single drop of creativity around me. And become a graphic designer that is comfortable in

every platform and challenge myself to do something new every day.

My goal is to never stop learning.

I hope you enjoy my portfolio and if you have feedback, Suggestions or just looking to

talk? Feel free to contact me anytime!
