I am a multidisciplinary creative professional with over a decade of experience in graphic design and more than 4 years in film and audiovisual production. My career has been defined by versatility — moving seamlessly between corporate communication, commercial campaigns, and artistic storytelling. I specialize in combining visual design, filmmaking, and strategic communication to create impactful content for brands, organizations, and audiences. — Film & Audiovisual Production As a Director and Producer, I have developed and led numerous projects, from narrative short films to high-profile commercials. My portfolio includes: - Narrative works: Nuestra Hora (2024), Reminiscencia (2024), Guantes Negros (2025), and Soledad (2025). - Commercial & branded content: Nintendo Switch TV Spot (2023), Campofrío TV Spot (2023). - Experimental and conceptual films: Eco del Tormento (2023), Hong Kong (Cineminuto, 2023), Sin Reflejos (2023). This experience has given me a complete understanding of the production pipeline — from scriptwriting and pre-production, to cinematography, directing, editing, and sound design. — Technical Expertise – Cutting-Edge Knowledge Beyond creativity, I bring unprecedented technical expertise in the tools, workflows, and industry standards that power professional filmmaking: - Cameras & Platforms: Skilled in operating Sony, Blackmagic, RED, and other cinema systems, with a deep understanding of sensor technology, codecs, and dynamic range optimization. - Cinematic Gear: Hands-on experience with Technocranes, stabilizers, gimbals, rigs, dollies, sliders, and DJI systems, ensuring fluid and dynamic camera movements across productions of any scale. - Optics & Accessories: Proficient in handling a wide range of cinema lenses and accessories, adapting to anamorphic, spherical, prime, and zoom configurations with precision. - Post-Production & Color: Advanced knowledge of ACES workflows, color grading, LUT creation, pixel aspect ratios, and industry-standard delivery specs. Experienced in preparing DCPs (Digital Cinema Packages), festival-ready masters, and multiple distribution formats. - Audio & Video Standards: Strong command of audio mixing, multichannel setups, sync workflows, and broadcast-level specs. Skilled in matching formats to theatrical, streaming, and broadcast exhibition windows. - Software: Full expertise in Adobe Creative Suite (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom), plus advanced skills in editing, compositing, and mastering pipelines. In short: I am not only a storyteller but also a technical operator who knows the entire language of cinema — from lens choices and cranes to export ratios and delivery specs. — Graphic Design & Communication With nearly 10 years of experience in graphic design, I create professional designs that range from branding and visual identities to internal corporate communications. My corporate collaborations include: - Banco Azteca (Metro Norte Division): Internal conference production, bi-weekly newsletters, photography, and sales strategy summaries. - Bioferia: Event coverage, promotional spots for product launches and executive meetings. - 3M: Audiovisual coverage of corporate events and launches, editing capsules, and producing internal audiovisual newsletters. — Creativity Beyond Boundaries Beyond my professional projects, I am developing SELF-ESTEEM, a conceptual music and visual album blending cinematic soundscapes, industrial textures, and storytelling. This ongoing project reflects my ability to create innovative narratives that merge art, design, and music — a mindset I also bring to client work. — Why Work With Me? - Creative + Technical Fusion: I combine artistic storytelling with deep technical knowledge of industry workflows. - Versatility: From corporate campaigns to independent films, I adapt to diverse production needs. - End-to-End Solutions: Concept, shooting, editing, color, audio, and final delivery — all in one workflow. - Global Vision: My work adapts to different audiences, industries, and distribution channels. - Professional Reliability: Detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and committed to high standards. — Services I Offer on Upwork - Corporate and commercial video production - Short films, branded content, and music videos - Cinematography and camera operation (Sony, Blackmagic, RED) - Editing, color grading, and mastering (ACES, DCP, broadcast formats) - Motion graphics & video compositing - Graphic design and branding - Event coverage (corporate and creative) - Consulting on audiovisual workflows and distribution formats In essence: I deliver not just content, but cinematic-grade productions with full technical mastery and creative impact. Whether you need a high-end commercial, a festival-ready short film, or professional corporate media, I bring the skills, knowledge, and vision to make it happen.

I’m a senior video editor and visual storyteller with 15+ years of experience helping brands, creators, and organizations turn ideas into clear, engaging video content for social media, YouTube, and corporate platforms.

I’m comfortable owning projects end-to-end in remote workflows. I’ve worked with global brands such as HBO, Sony Pictures, BBC, The Washington Post, Coca-Cola, and American Income Life, and my approach is simple: clarity first, emotion second, style last—so every video feels intentional, easy to follow, and professionally delivered. I work fluently in English and Spanish, adapting tone and messaging for brand and ad content. Looking forward to hear about your project!
