Creative Agencies

Art Director

I have 17 years experience on the Graphic Design Industry. I can totally rely on my designing skills but, throughout the years, I have deepened my knowledge in other areas such as copy writing and concept development. I am creative by nature and perfectionist by choice. Right now I am looking for some serious challenges that can really put me to the test. Working on just one thing and just one area at a time is not my game. I love doing different things during the creative process and building new realities from scratch is a passion I can't (and don't want to) escape from.
I am the one who challenges you to challenge me.
I am the one that doesn't believe in doing "his best", but doing "what it takes".
If you need to see my skills on a detailed fashion, please read on and you'll find a bullet-like list to make things simple.

"A man who works with his hands is a laborer;
a man who works with his hands and his brain is?a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist."
