About

My first published piece of work was printed in a calendar for the employees and families of the Chicago Skyway at age 13.    When I was 17, I scripted, directed and produced a video submission for the Doritos SuperBowl Ad Competition. I later learned I needed to be 18 or older to win. This was my first introduction to Advertising.   I am a Latino Art Director and Illustrator based in Chicago specializing in storyboarding, sketching, video editing, directing, and concepting. At Leo Burnett Detroit, I’m developing concepts and content for Buick and GMC social media. I’m passionate about creative executions that are rooted in Inclusivity, sustainability and future thinking.   Before landing in LBD, I lead and participated in more than 10 student advertising competitions including NSAC, NRF, Effie’s, and VCU Camp Adventure, placing in five, 2nd place and higher. I have been awarded six fellowships including 4A’s MAIP, Campbell Ewald, Access &Design, The BrandLab and Marcus Graham Project ICR8 Bootcamp and The Inturnship.    I am a First Generation graduate from Columbia College Chicago, graduating in 2020 earning my Bachelors of Arts in Advertising.    Notable accomplishments include  <ul> <li style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">Speaking engagements at The BrandLab </li> <li style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">Quoted in “Beyond Creativity” by Vy-Anh Nguyen</li> <li style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue';">Personal artwork featured in Lyrical Lemonade, Complex, SWIDLIFE, Pigeons and Planes & HotNewHipHo</li> </ul>
