As a seasoned creative with over 16 years of experience and being fully bilingual, I've had the opportunity to work in and learn from both multicultural and the general market on impressive clients such as Toyota, Mattel, Target, Marshall's, Bud Light, Domino's, Chevrolet, Land Rover, and Lowe's among others. Having worked with some great companies like Davis Elen, LatinWorks, Young & Rubicam, Campbell Mithune, and Mendoza Dillon, to name a few, I've learned that as long as the concept is strong and the execution memorable, great creative will resonate. Please check out my work below and let's talk.
