About me

My name is Astrid Salas, I am a Creative with more than 10 years of experience in Advertising based in London. Previous roles were for agencies, design studios and mobile startups where I've worked with diverse clients like Samsung, Bodyform, Wella and Cineworld. I'm hands-on from the conceptual stage to creative production. I can wear different hats depending on what's needed for the job. I am passionate about new modes of digital technology, audio/imagery expression and storytelling. I am naturally curious about the world, and I provide an expressive and imaginative point of view to everything I do.
