WHY AM I A CORNER?

Since I popped out of the womb, I have absorbed many things — dumb things, beautiful things, musical things, moving things — and brought them together into one place. You might call this place your “mind,” but I like to think of mine like a corner. Because it is where all of these rich cultures, disciplines, and inspirations meet.

Where Colombia’s vibrance meets America’s different faces, and Berlin’s historical weight. Where the graffiti I analyzed on the street meets the work of Sagmeister, McQueen, Wieden+Kennedy, Pixar, and Elton. Where the brain-numbing memes and “awww”-inducing dog videos meet a genuine concern for the world. And where the words of Shakira meet the words of my own mom.

This is where I reach (yes, into myself) when I am searching for solutions to ideas. I reach deep into the corner, from many different angles, using my many different facets, and try my best to pull out the most emotive, expressive work that I can. Work that makes you feel something, whether it be awe, amazement, nostalgia, or even surprise.

.

In short: I am a creative hybrid, born in Colombia, raised in the U.S. and with my heart in Europe. I like to bring my eccentric array of interests together in heart-rattling ways.

Technically an “Art Director-Designer” hybrid, but don’t underestimate my love for concepting, or my ability to express myself through writing and song.
