Hey 🖖 ! If you’ve made it this far, I guess you’re curious enough to learn a bit more about me.

I’m a Senior Designer and Illustrator 😎. I’ve been doing this for over 16 years now, long enough to know the rules… and when to ignore them. Currently based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺, originally from Bogotá, Colombia 🇨🇴.

I’ve worked across pretty much every corner of design, from digital to print, video to UI — picking up a well-rounded skillset 🧮 along the way. Branding is a big passion of mine, not just how things look, but how they feel and show up across every touchpoint.

Over the years, I’ve led design teams not just as a manager, but as a mentor — helping others grow, sharpen their skills, and find their own creative voice. I’ve also spent time teaching design 🖊 and elements of branding, which has really shaped how I think about the craft and how to communicate it clearly.

My illustration style 🖍 sits somewhere between 80’s–90’s cartoons and traditional tattoo culture. I love the digital space, but honestly, I’ll always have a soft spot for creating things in the physical world… stuff you can actually hold, feel, and keep.

Anyway, if you 🫵🏽 made it all the way down here, here’s my email ✉️:

Thanks for taking the time to check out my work 😁
