03 — About

Strategy first,
design second,
execution always.

I lead by doing. Fluent in SketchUp, Illustrator, Photoshop, Figma, and AutoCAD at a production level — I personally design 3D store visualizations, pop-up environments, window animations, brand guidelines, and campaign identities for some of the world's most demanding luxury houses.

My career spans Tiffany & Co., Chopard, Cartier, and L'Oréal across 300+ points of sale and budgets up to $8M. I hold the operational credibility to take a project from creative brief to grand opening without losing anything in translation.

Bilingual in English and Spanish. Based in Miami, deeply fluent in the LATAM and Caribbean market dynamics that define this region. I approach every engagement as a creative director: strategy first, design second, execution always.
