born in mexico city in 75, always wanted to be an architect but somehow i ended studying advertising. finished ad school in 1998 and started to work as a copywriter for a local ad agency in mexico city.
being in such a small agency but working for some big names most of the time i found myself, designing more rather than writing. no complaints about it; i was just glad to be so involved in the graphic part of the process.
by 1999 i moved to australia. spent about two years improving my english, surfing and getting a marketing diploma. best times ever!. back in mexico city 2001, joined another local ad agency that became publicis mexico a year later. this time as an art director. telcel, banamex, sauza were the clients i did the most work for. after 4 years i moved to vale euro rscg where i have been working since january 2005.
thank you for stopping by.
