BACKGROUND
I always had a very close relation to street culture, its behavior, its music and it's art. So it didn't take me a long time to get involved in street art. My curiosity and willing to grow took me to ask what was next, and I saw a big opportunity on Graphic Design, focusing on becoming a professional on that field.
After a few years at High school of Design and Art, I had my first job as designer in a print company, where I could understand and realize how important a good workflow and logical processes are in a production chain. I worked many years on graphic arts and production and had the chance to work on projects for companies like Intel, Alcatel and Vodafone.
In the meanwhile, I was also involved in sport events production so I could apply all the know how based on my experience before. It worked an I really enjoyed that experience but I wanted more. Music events and festivals was the next challenge to me. So I got into it.
I’ve spent many years as Head of Design in a local family business that’s grown to a global brand in the entertainment industry, where I had the opportunity to manage a whole team of creative designers and where I did the Art Direction during the last years of my period in the company. This role gave me the opportunity to improve my skills and enlarge my experience in fields like Web Design, UX/UI, and Human management, Leadership and budgets, among many other things. , and where I decided to spend the last 11 years of my life.
I can actually say that my career has been and will be a never ending process of learning. I would love to keep doing this forever and I hope you'll be part of this story also.
