About me

I'm a creative, illustrator, designer and filmmaker based in Mexico City, with over a decade of experience working across the arts, film, advertising and marketing.
My work sits at the intersection of visual storytelling, mythology, design and cultural research. I'm especially interested in how ancient symbols and narratives can be reimagined through contemporary creative practice , across illustration, film, objects and immersive projects.
Alongside my independent work, I lead international partnerships and program development at Culturans, where I collaborate with artists, universities and cultural institutions on projects exploring creativity, cities and social innovation.
More recently, I've been developing The Mythographer, an independent creative practice focused on mythology, worldbuilding and the idea of bringing old stories into new forms.
