I grew up in Buenos Aires and moved to New York to go to college at the School of Visual Arts for illustration. I graduated in 2004 with honors. My first gig was an illustration for Anthony Bourdain in the Book Review section of The New York Times, art directed by Steve Heller at the time. I worked a lot in the editorial field for The New Yorker, Time, Money, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Culture & Travel, Harvard Business Review, Child, Continental Airlines Magazine, Fast Company, Flaunt, Dwell, The Guardian, The Independent, Inc., Paper, The National Post and Plan Sponsor among others. I’m proud to say I illustrated the cover of The New York Times Magazine. I’ve also illustrated two children’s books for Scholastic (U.S.) and Orsai (Argentina). In 2005 Chicago-based fashion boutique IKRAM hired me to do an annual campaign that got me into the fashion field, working eventually for Tiffany & Co., Target, Mama Mío (U.K.), Sex and the City, MTV, Herman Miller and Carolina Herrera. I illustrated a series of signature T-shirts for The Gap in the U.S. and in England. I’ve done a lot of live illustration on windows for high-profile fashion stores and hotels mostly in Buenos Aires, including Casa Sur Hotel, Toribio Achaval Realty, Martin Churba, Jazmín Chebar and Vitamina. In 2023, I started a podcast in Argentina named Las Pibas Dicen. My co-hosts are Julieta Ortega, Rosario Ortega and Ana Paula Dutil. It’s produced by the streaming channel Blender based in Buenos Aires, and it’s available on YouTube and Spotify. I illustrate all the intros and the sets. I work mostly in advertising. I illustrated a Stormtrooper helmet for The Walt Disney Company, I did a series of large canvases for American Express, I illustrated two ad sets for Samsung, I did a signature design for a Coca-Cola bottle, and I’ve worked directly with BBDO, DDB, DRAFTFCB and JWT among many others.    My work has received gold and silver medals from The Society of Illustrators of New York and Los Angeles, and has been awarded by Communication Arts, How, Creative Review, Luezer’s Archive, Altpick, STEP Inside Design, The Drawing Center, Graphis, and American Illustration.
