Well then, here's the not so short story.

I’m a Colombian multi-disciplinary digital designer with a broad experience in the digital space. Focusing on visual communication and creative media, I enjoy building digital products and contributing to initiatives that aim to improve well-being on global and local scales.

I’m passionate about exploring creativity and immersive digital experiences as channels to bring powerful concepts to life. In the last eight years, I’ve worked in different social and cultural contexts, contributing to, and leading the implementation of digital projects ranging from web and app design to branding and strategic content. My work harnesses the power of a deep sense of aesthetics mixed with a creative process funneled through research, observation, phygital prototyping, and an iterative logic.
