I am a versatile 3D and experiential designer with 7+ years creating immersive brand environments for global clients like FIFA, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Netflix, Nestlé, LEGO and more. My background in industrial design helps me translate 2D concepts into built spatial experiences—taking ideas from sketches and 3D modeling through construction documents and on-site installation. I collaborate with cross-functional teams and manage multi-stakeholder projects across sports, automotive, consumer goods, and entertainment. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, which helps me connect with diverse teams and clients. I thrive in fast-paced environments where design, fabrication, and storytelling intersect. Whether building activation spaces, retail displays, or stage/set environments, I aim to deliver brand-compliant, visually compelling experiences on tight deadlines.
