    About
    Personal work
    Newsletter

    I’m a Colombian art director and ad creative based in Dubai, currently at Leo Burnett Middle East. I began in filmmaking before pivoting to advertising and design, taking on roles at top agencies like Ogilvy, McCann, BBDO, and Superside. Along the way, I’ve collaborated with global brands including GMC, Pfizer, KFC, and Puma.

    My work has been recognized at the TikTok Ad Awards, Dubai Lynx, Effie Awards MENA, Loeries, and The One Show, and featured in Luerzer’s Archive, It’s Nice That, and Designers Against Coronavirus.

    I bring experience across the Middle East and a deep interest in emerging technologies, visual culture, and how storytelling evolves in a hyper-connected world. (I write about this in my newsletter—subscribe for updates on my work and reflections on culture, tech, and the stuff we can’t stop streaming.)
