Your brand needs to look sharp, move well, and convert, not just look pretty. I help startups, agencies, and growing companies build visual systems that actually work: across social media, ad campaigns, and brand identity 😉 With 6+ years directing creative for global brands like Red Bull, JetSMART, Burger King, and Changan Auto, I deliver work that's both strategically grounded and visually strong, from a single key visual to a full campaign system. What I can do for you: — Brand identity: logo, typography, color systems, brand guidelines — Motion graphics: animated logos, story ads, social media reels, corporate video — Social media design: campaign concepts, content systems, IG/FB/TikTok formats — Art direction: campaign concepts, key visuals, creative direction for shoots I've worked in agencies (DDB, Wolf BCPP, Cheil), in-house for major brands (Red Bull), and remotely managing 20+ assets/week for Latin American corporate clients. I know how to work fast, stay on-brand, and communicate clearly throughout the process. I work in After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Figma, and Premiere Pro. Fluent in English and Spanish, available for both short-term projects and ongoing collaboration. If you need a designer who thinks in campaigns, not just individual pieces, let's talk ✨
