I am an award-winning creative director working at the intersection of business, technology and art. I currently lead Bloomberg’s in-house global creative and brand group, tackling complex challenges with simple, human-centric solutions. I work across Bloomberg’s full portfolio of businesses, products and philanthropic endeavors. When not in the office, I develop projects as an artist that uses photography and moving image to reflect on today’s political, financial and religious spectrum. I am deeply passionate about the environment and believe that our past holds the key to a more sustainable future. This is also the focus of my small, family-owned real estate restoration and development company. I am based in Brooklyn, NYC where I live with my wife, daughter and British short-haired cat.

- The COVID still lives.The COVID-19 epidemic has placed us at a point of inflection, during which our outside-lives have been put on hold. Taking inspiration from the thing around me, these still lives are an homage to pause and simplicity, shining a light on the little things that make our lives more beautiful and help us cope.
- Flags for the RockIn the Spring of 2020, the Rockefeller Center asked people across the world to show their love for New York by designing flags that would be flown in a temporary art installation on the 193 poles surrounding the iconic Rink at Rockefeller Center. My flags were not selected by the curators, but if you like them, you can download them for free here and print your own.
- Summer HarvestDedicated to summer, Summer Harvest is Modus Vivendi's first publication in 5 years. This collection of 35mm photographs is printed digitally on newsprint, and folded as a 12-page tabloid publication. Each zine is part of a very limited edition of 50 units. Modus Vivendi is a tribute to analog travel photography, captured on 35mm film. All images are taken or curated by Isabel Sierra y Gómez de León. You can access more information about this project, or purchase your own issue here.
