ART DIRECTOR, CHEF & PHOTOGRAPHER

I have 9+ years experience working in the chaos of agencies for brands like Honda, Dole, Natrol, Jack in the Box and more. My experience began helping brands either continue to reach or reach for the first time the large and ever-growing U.S. Latino audience. This reinforced my passion for representation of my own community and culture, as well as all underrepresented communities. I view all markets as diverse markets and any player as a potential culture driver.

As an amateur chef, I love love love working on food, drink and CPG brands. When I first stepped foot on a recipe shoot I realized the meaning of “love what you do and never work a day in your life”. I’ve completed a Master Chef training program and I cook like a maniac any chance I get.

When I get away from my 3 monitor setup, I like to drag around my light but powerful camera. I love capturing human moments and tabletop setups. At work, I love to be hands on with production and lead content shoots, big or small.

I am an LA native and love every bit of this city. I am a self-taught Designer turned Art Director with way too many interests. I love what I do and aim to surround myself with people who feel the same.
