My story.

I grew up surrounded by design. My father is an architect, my mother a fine artist. By the time I was sketching in Illustrator at the age of 10, I knew this was my path. My first real job after design school in Venezuela, was at the mayor’s architecture office, where I learned how design functions in the real world.

I started as a motion designer at a 24h news channel in Venezuela. Then I move to Santiago, Chile where I started at CNN making the news graphics live insert package and then in Canal 13, another major news channel in Santiago, where I rebuilt their news graphics system from the ground up, integrating Vizrt templates, designing daily assets, and making sure everything was tested and working for the live production.

I came to Australia next with a creative company, who threw me into global projects. I specialized in live graphics ecosystems and interactive solutions; led the global art team and guided projects from concept to delivery, working closely with clients, supporting the project until the final launch.

What really brings me to love what I do are the unique challenges each project brings to me… all the different needs and those little things I learn every time. After years of working in many countries with different cultures and backgrounds, I’ve learned how to be empathetic and understand each creative need with ease. Ultimately, this work is about creating visuals that make the story special and real to whoever is watching, no matter where they are. This has been a journey of wonderful experiences and growth, and I can’t wait for what is next!

Elevating graphics
through design.

Fifteen years in live design teaches you to trust your instincts. I believe graphics should speak before they're read. My approach has always been about creating visual shortcuts; those immediate moments of understanding where a viewer just knows. There's a universal grammar to effective graphics, but the poetry changes with each audience.

My work has been about finding that balance by creating systems flexible enough to work anywhere and precise enough to feel like they belong exactly where they are.

My global vision
& experience.

A career in motion has taken me from Moscow’s broadcast studios to Los Angeles production trucks, from Qatar’s control rooms to Shanghai’s neon-lit sets. I’ve adapted graphics for New York stadium trucks and Budapest’s newsrooms, learned how typography designs differently in Shanghai, and built systems that hold up whether the audience is in Santiago or Cincinnati. Every city left its mark on how I design: with the flexibility to feel local anywhere and the precision to perform everywhere. Wherever the next challenge takes me, I’m ready.
