About me

Always up to a challenge and to get out of my comfort zone, I am an award-winning creative director from Spain, currently based in London. I have worked with big brands for multinational agencies for more than fifteen years. Ah! and I've been fortunate enough to do it in Madrid, Mexico City, Miami, Santiago de Chile, and Barcelona.

  CALVO TUNA/THEY KNOW ITYou can't sneak anything--we mean anything--past these eagle-eyed moms in this thriller-like spot. The creepiness of the "Psycho" sort sets in as mothers use their sixth sense to uncover their families' little deceits or bad behavior, but in the end, there's a pay-off to their cunning: they will detect if a tuna is not real tuna for sure!

  AD COUNCIL /OUR STORIESThis campaign for the Ad Council is my last significant work published. I am especially attached to it because it is about the early signs of Alzheimer's, and I got to know and interview these people IRL. We collaborated with two Oscar winners, the musician Gustavo Santaolalla and the artist Bastien Dubois to bring their stories to life. Plus, it won a Webby Award this year, voted online by the public worldwide during the lockdown!
