About

me

I’m a creative professional and senior integrated producer, passionate about building interactive experiences for agencies, organizations, and brands—work that connects, empowers and inspires.

What drives me is exploring bold ideas and using emerging technologies to push the boundaries of storytelling, figuring out how to make things that haven’t been done before. From experiential installations and web platforms to apps and video. I work hands-on with creative and technical teams to bring meaningful work to life.

I graduated with a BA degree in Communications with a specialization in Interactive Media from the University of Québec in Montréal. In addition to a Major degree in Cinema Studies, I have been working as a professional in the digital content creation industry for over 14 years.

Lately I have been working as Senior Producer in the creation process of interactive content, experiential campaigns and installations, producing and managing projects that require talented designers, developers and strategists. I thrive in areas that require creativity, innovation, attention to detail, efficiency and organization. I am an action-oriented professional with expertise in management and technologies, from conceptualization to final deployment of projects.

Born and raised in Colombia, I have lived in South America, Europe and North America. This has developed in me a deep appreciation for the diversity of this world, which I use as a source of inspiration for new ideas. I love exploring the confluence of art, design, storytelling and technology to build imaginative solutions to communicational needs for organizations that have a positive social impact.

I am currently based in Toronto, Canada where I enjoy the outdoors, bike rides, live music, photography and very strong coffee. I love cooking and discovering great food paired with wine or craft beer shared with good friends. I’m fluent in English, French and Spanish.
