Festival driven days,
2025 unfolded as a season of creative expansion. I felt the wind push me forward. My voice became sharper, bolder, more complete. No longer only a visual artist or art director, I began to understand myself as a creative leader one with a deeper command of concept, copy, direction, and vision. Guided by mentors and inspired by great minds, I brought more of that vision into the light.That year, the work earned a Future Lions shortlist and a DR Young Lions finalist recognition, while purpose-driven collaborations with Upon the Waves, Subcultura, ZEAN, and Dentsu expanded the path even further.A year that reminded me why I believe in this: creativity can move culture, open doors, and change the world.

This project came together unexpectedly. Orlando Dua was preparing the concert and needed a creative lead to help expand the vision and shape it into a full live experience. I was the first creative involved, and as the project evolved, other creatives joined in, each adding a distinct point of view that made the process even stronger.
What emerged was a piece built with care, craft, and a clear sense of storytelling, all connected through the world of Entre Coco y Vino. For me, it marked a beautifully executed project that raised the level of concert craft in the Dominican Republic.
These images capture the show through a more artistic lens, photographed by Santiago Crime, the last creative to hop into the project.

It was exciting to work with an innovation-led brand like Quismotion, bringing AI-powered traffic lights to the Dominican Republic.
The process was demanding. The idea relied entirely on animation, and that required a much deeper level of detail. It meant long nights, constant refinement, and endless Zoom calls shaping the piece with precision.
The project gave the client immediate relevance, helping them win their first pitch and capture the attention of President Luis Abinader through the strength of its vision.

Zean went through a lot of trial and error in print until we finally landed on a sample that felt right. It later became my favorite shirt of his collection and for sure the one id wear.

Visual art was my entry point into the creative world. For a while, I had drifted away from that sense of play and artistic freedom, and this project brought it back.
The work felt even more meaningful knowing it would live within the world of a life friend in car racing. A loyal client, always supporting my vision above anything else.

PILLSAFE began as a response to a Future Lions brief. It also became a rare way of meeting Dan Salom, a Mexico-based creative copywriter, through the work itself.
Since then, the project has traveled far in both awards and impact. It remains the kind of work I continue to look for—ideas with reach, relevance, and the power to leave a mark.

In 2025, I began taking my work more seriously and felt a growing need to bring my vision into the music industry, guided by a genuine passion for the field.
Around that time, I met Ale Toca, a local DJ with a sharp taste in music. The collaboration came naturally. We were both on the same wavelength—driven by the joy of playing to play with real passion. This set was born from that.

Since my earliest days, ancient cultures have held a deep fascination for me. Standing over this pyramid felt surreal—a moment that invited reflection, a reminder of how small we are in the world, and at the same time, how much we are still capable of giving to it.

The process involved deep discussion around what was truly worth producing. The merch was crafted to carry the same narrative as the artist, approached with the care and detail of fashion. A custom look was also created for the artist specifically for that night, styled to bring the full vision together. Everything was developed from raw.

This quote stayed with me in a real way. It first came while I was researching carbon footprints and thinking how meaningful it would be to turn that perspective around—to move from the negative toward something more inspiring, rooted in solutions and creativity.
The image felt perfectly aligned with that idea, captured in a powerful moment high above the skies of Mexico.
