About

Hi, I’m Nerea González Mardones—I’m a Senior Art Director originally from Bilbao, and I’ve lived across Madrid, Santiago de Chile, and London for the past decade. Working across cultures has shaped how I communicate and collaborate, helping me connect beyond the surface to create work that feels clear, human, and memorable to different audiences.

I’ve built brand identities, led integrated campaigns, and art directed photo and video shoots that capture each client’s essence with distinctive creative choices. I’m at my best when I can translate strategy into visual storytelling—whether I’m partnering with agencies on brand and marketing work for major clients, or supporting teams to deliver campaigns that win attention and stay meaningful.
