What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can lead visual direction—combining art direction, branding, illustration, and video—to create memorable stories. I thrive on collaborative teams that value craft, experimentation, and clear creative outcomes.

I’m an Art Director focused on turning stories into compelling visuals—through camera, composition, and colorimetry, plus strong graphic concepts. From documentary and short films to book cover work, I bring clarity, rhythm, and emotional tone to every frame and piece.

Across recent projects, I’ve shaped branded and audiovisual deliverables—like creating illustrations and the cover for “La depresión grita y el mundo calla,” and producing audiovisual products for “zumo+ winners.” I also lead art direction for documentaries and short films, handling “Audiovisual direction” while supporting camera, composition, and colorimetry.

My practice is interdisciplinary: I work with illustration, painting, photography, animation, and video editing, and I also take part in exhibition and curatorship of my own work. I’m currently strengthening my digital toolkit through a Diploma in Digital Marketing and a specialization in AI, so I can connect visual storytelling with modern production and growth.
