​​

I am not the trendy, repetitive, and typical designer speaking in third person showing the same popular motion typographic style pretending being original doing the copy of the copy over and over. I am more variegated and eclectic.

I was raised by wild skateboarding, extreme music, essencial graffiti, raw raves and cult films. My A/V passion was born in the urban culture influenced by music from Punk Rock to Electro Industrial or Hip Hop among other things.​

My art is authentic and honest as it could be. Every piece is unique, outstanding, iconoclast and tinged with revolution.

I am not focused in Web Development, UI/UX is important but not my daily concern, I find Presentation Design monotonous, Everybody is on Reels now, Social Media the new reality, Content Creation is generating more consumerism each day and so on.

I don't really do Animation nor Copy-writing and my expertise is not specifically in Video Edition, inDesign is not my thing, After Effects is for pilots, Figma?, Digital Advertising??.

I still rely in my dedication, imagination and own effort instead of AI in concept but I apply some technical extra hand. The only 3D that I deal with is the real life, I think!.

I won a couple of contests in the past and my work has been exhibited in Bogotá and Brooklyn.

Nowadays I work as a freelancer making projects in Graphic Art, Illustration, Direction and Photography.

 

Peace!!!​​​​​​​​​
