Copywriter, photographer, creator.

Born and raised in Dallas, Texas to my Colombian mother and Chilean father, which means TSA hates me. It also means I grew up inspired by art, revolution, fast paced fútbol, and the songs of storytelling.

I’m a sneaker head, Star Wars nerd, and aspiring Madman. I believe that in order to make good work you have to look forward to breaking a few rules.
