About

I’m a Art Director from Spain, currently working as a Senior Art Director, with a strong focus on motion graphics and illustration. My background combines visual storytelling, animation, and design systems to create engaging and meaningful brand experiences.

Over the years, I’ve evolved from a foundation in textile and graphic design into a multidisciplinary creative specializing in motion-led projects. I’ve worked across advertising, digital platforms, and branding, leading and contributing to projects that require both conceptual thinking and hands-on execution. Currently, I’m part of an international creative environment, developing campaigns and visual narratives for diverse audiences.

My core strengths lie in art direction, motion design, and illustration, with a strong sensitivity to rhythm, composition, and storytelling. What differentiates me is my ability to merge a distinctive visual style with strategic thinking, translating complex ideas into clear, compelling visuals that resonate across formats and platforms.
