Available to hire
I am a versatile, award-winning professional with a background in advertising concepts, graphic production, animation, 3D modeling, and creative writing. Fluent in English and Spanish, I’ve collaborated with major brands like VISA, Microsoft, Toyota, and Round Table Pizza to craft campaigns that resonate and endure. I thrive at the intersection of art and strategy, translating complex ideas into clear messages that move people to act.
I am passionate about storytelling, mentorship, and pushing creative boundaries. I believe in collaboration, continuous learning, and delivering on time with meticulous attention to detail. If you’re looking for someone who can lead, write, design, and animate with a clear, persuasive point—let’s talk.
