I am a seasoned professional in advertising communication with a career that began in Latin America, where I had the privilege of training at leading agencies such as J. Walter Thompson, Young & Rubicam, and Leo Burnett. In these high-performance environments, I developed a strong foundation in strategic thinking and creative execution. My career continued in Madrid, working in creative and design teams for companies like Lléo Marqués, Eureka NW Ayer, Glow Comunicación, and more, contributing both as a Creative Director and Art Director. I am recognized for my versatility, handling everything from packaging design to identity visual, BTL, editorial, trade marketing, stands, and web pieces with a strategic approach and rigorous aesthetic standards. Beyond awards, including a Bronze at the New York Festival for a Colgate Palmolive spot and a Venezuelan FEVAP award for Best Billboard, I master prepress, offset and digital printing processes, and complement my graphic work with professional photography and retouching skills. This allows me to deliver comprehensive visual solutions with impact and coherence.
