I don’t like talking about myself, but since we’re both here…
I'm half Venezuelan, half Spaniard.
An odd mix of Caribbean and Celtic.
Started my career in my hometown of Caracas.
Moved across the pond to Madrid.
Kept refining my craft and mixing my accent.
Landed in Chicago, where I spent 7 years at Leo Burnett.
Now, at independent Chicago agency BarkleyOKRP.
Working on three different continents has shaped my way of thinking. Making my work as diverse as the places I've been in.
So, if you're looking for a globally-minded creative, drop a line.
We can talk in English, Spanish, or Asturianu.
