What I'm looking for

I’m open to remote and international work.

At Gimnasio Fontana, I direct audiovisual projects from concept to final cut, covering art direction, shoots, editing, and motion graphics. I also lead the Arts department, managing a creative team and planning project direction.

My work starts from a question, a symbol, or an emotion, and turns it into a coherent visual world of color, light, and space. In independent theatre and musical projects, I designed stage visuals and projections that integrated video, lighting, and set design.

At the Museum of Modern Art of Bogotá (MAMBO), I produced field work for the audiovisual series Parchando en el MAMBO, coordinating shoots, locations, and guests, and mediating between the collection and diverse audiences. I’m open to remote and international work.
