Hello, hello!

I believe joy, curiosity and understanding are greater than fear and ignorance. My work is based on that and a genuine desire to connect with people.

Simplicity is elegance, taste and craft come with experience, and the thrill for the moment with every breath.

I’m a multidisciplinary award-winning creative director with a background in fine arts, I find purpose in telling stories and making people smile.   

There is a love, and authenticity, to what I do that has led to recognition from Cannes, The One Show, and D&AD, and being featured in pubs and media like Ad Age, Campaign, The Drum, CNN, Hypebeast, The Source, Rolling Stone, MSNBC, CBS and more.

I grew up in Miami (born in Peru), worked in New York, San Francisco, and currently reside in Los Angeles—complemented by studies in Amsterdam, London, Florence, and Chicago—that has built up a global perspective that celebrates both what connects us and what makes us unique.

Beyond my profession, a constant sense of wonder is expressed in a wide range of hobbies, interests and new experiences the most recent and meaningful being the rewarding and challenging journey of fatherhood.

Always happy to make new friends and make magic together.
