︎


Bolivian father. Brazilian mother. Born and raised in São Paulo. Somehow, I ended up in the Caribbean.

There were a few stops in between. I started making ads in Brazil, moved to Australia, came back home, crossed the ocean again to Budapest, and eventually landed in Puerto Rico. Somewhere along the way, I became a Creative Director and even won a Grand Prix at Cannes Lions.

I genuinely love advertising, but not everything I make needs a brief. I love illustrating, and at some point I even learned pyrography, which is a fancy word for burning drawings into wood.

Turns out I just really like making things and travel.
