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.

Creative curiosity has driven me my whole life. Today, that means building work that resonates, converts, and earns lasting trust — and helping the creatives around me do the same.

Where I’ve worked recently:
Culture Amp, Director of Creative Studio - Currently
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.
