    I am a Colombian art director based in Dubai with a background in filmmaking.

    My journey began in film school, where, along the way, I discovered my passion for advertising and graphic design. This shift led me to work at agencies like Ogilvy, McCann, BBDO, and Superside, collaborating with brands such as GMC, Pfizer, KFC, and Puma. I’m currently a senior art director at Leo Burnett Middle East (LEO Constellation).

    I love crafting ideas that live at the intersection of visual arts, tech, and culture—whether that’s through branding, social media, or traditional campaigns.

    Over the years, my work has been recognized at some of the industry’s biggest awards:

    - Dubai Lynx 2024: Social – Silver, Digital – Bronze x2
    - TikTok Ad Awards 2024: The G.O.A.T, Gold x2
    - Effie Awards MENA 2024 – Silver
    - Loeries Awards 2024: Digital – Silver
    - The One Show – Bronze, Merit x3
    - MadStars 2023 – Outdoor Shortlist x5
    - NY Festival – Bowery Awards 2020 – Shortlist
    - Graphis – Protest Posters 2021 – Honorable Mention

    Some of my work has also been featured in Luerzer's Archive, It's Nice That, Designers Against Coronavirus, and more.
