I'm an illustrator with over a decade of experience creating characters, creatures, comics, and visual stories that connect. I started out illustrating books for the Colombian Soccer Federation, then moved into concept art for animation — designing backgrounds and crafting worlds for a samurai-themed animated series. That opened the door to writing and directing my own animated projects, winning Colombia's Crea Digital Award twice (2016 and 2021). Since then, I've illustrated six biographies, a dictionary, comics about social leaders, sex ed guides for the UNFPA, and a book on migration during the pandemic for Mercociudades. Most recently, I contributed a werewolf comic to a sci-fi anthology — and when I'm not working on commissions, I draw creatures in pencil every single day. My passion is creating striking, emotionally resonant illustrations — especially characters and monsters. I specialize in mixing traditional drawing with digital tools, collaborating with NGOs, publishers, studios, and educators.
