I consider myself a visual thinker. Art and design are the driving forces of my career. My motivation is to explore visual alternatives and place them into compositions.

I have worked on diverse projects that goes from Video Games to Print. Besides the medium, what I consider relevant is creating immersive and memorable experiences and emotions.
