I’m a freelance Art Director (ACD) with over ten years of experience bringing ideas to life across TV, digital, social, and experiential campaigns for brands like Amazon, TurboTax, Airbnb, Walmart, and Pampers. With a background in mechanical engineering and fluency in English and Spanish, I love combining analytical thinking with creative strategy and multicultural insight to craft stories that connect with both general market and U.S. Hispanic audiences. I’ve collaborated with agencies like Wieden+Kennedy, FCB Chicago, Saatchi & Saatchi, and Havas, helping launch big brand campaigns and build social content that drives engagement — always focused on creating work that feels thoughtful, impactful, and culturally relevant.
