I’m a dad who loves art, and always tries his best!

I’m originally from Colombia, but have been in the bay area for over 20 years. I live in Oakland, CA with my wife Rikki who’s a photographer, and our two daughters Grace and Simone, who don’t have jobs yet. My hobbies include film photography, making short films and reading novels. Talk to me about movies, analog cameras, and home renovation projects and I promise I’ll pay close attention.

Where I’ve worked recently:
Pie Insurance, Creative Director (3 years)
Vida Health, Creative Director (3 years)
Square, Senior Art Director (2 years)
Uber, Senior Designer (4.5 years)
Apple, Production Designer (2 years)

In my spare time I love to capture moments on analog cameras and to make short films.

Palm trees and red flowering bushes with mountains in the background at dusk.
Street scene at dusk with telephone wires, streetlights, houses, and palm trees silhouetted against a colorful sunset sky.
Coffee cup with latte art on wooden table.
Charming cottage-style house with light-colored siding, surrounded by lush greenery and a row of blooming pink and white flowers. Overhead power lines cross the sky. The scene is captured in gentle sunlight.
