I’m a Creative Director
I build brand identities, lead strategy, and direct visual systems for brands and studios.
Every project begins with research, pen and paper, thinking through the problem, the audience, the territory. From there I build the visual world of the brand: color, composition, and light as structural decisions that shape how a brand feels before anyone reads a word.
That foundation shapes everything I direct: brand strategy and naming, identity systems, art direction, creative direction for animation and film. I've built identities for brands like La Chamana and Salvaje, led visual development for award-winning short films with studios like Raxo, Plenty and 3DAR, and developed conceptual frameworks for cultural projects.
Available for creative direction and brand consulting.

Alongside client work, I maintain an active studio practice in acrylic painting from my studio in La Barra, studying abstraction, light, color, and shape. It’s not a side pursuit, but the engine. I also teach digital design at Portal Bosque and privately.
Based in Punta del Este, Uruguay. Working globally. Available for creative direction and brand consulting.
