My Experience & Background
I am a filmmaker, creative director, and visual storyteller based in Los Angeles, working across international markets through constant travel and on-location production. With over a decade of professional experience in cinema and commercial content, my work bridges cinematic storytelling with strategic visual communication, serving brands, organizations, and creative projects that require both artistic depth and commercial clarity.
I formally trained in Film Production at the International University of the Californias (UDCI), graduating in 2014. During my academic years, I was honored to win the “Descubre BC” filmmaking contest in 2013, organized by the Baja California Ministry of Tourism. This early recognition marked a defining moment in my career and reinforced my ability to translate cultural identity and narrative concepts into compelling visual work.
Since completing my film studies, I have developed a multidisciplinary career spanning cinematic filmmaking, commercial production, photography, and content creation. My professional path has allowed me to collaborate with internationally recognized brands and organizations such as UFC, KIA, Regal, Everett, among others. Across these projects, I have delivered content ranging from brand-driven commercial campaigns to visually refined narrative pieces, always with a strong emphasis on concept, execution, and storytelling integrity.
While Los Angeles serves as my primary base of operations, I remain highly mobile, working fluidly between the United States, Mexico, and other international locations. This mobility enables me to adapt to diverse production environments, cultural contexts, and market demands. My cross-border experience has shaped a production mindset that is efficient, adaptable, and aligned with international industry standards.
Professionally, I offer services in Creative Direction, Video Production, Photography, and Strategic Content Creation. My involvement often extends beyond execution into conceptual leadership—guiding projects from ideation and visual language development through production and final delivery. I focus on translating abstract ideas into coherent visual systems that resonate emotionally while fulfilling clear commercial or communication objectives.
At the core of my work is a strong cinematic sensibility. Even within commercial contexts, I approach each project with the discipline of filmmaking: narrative structure, visual coherence, rhythm, symbolism, and intention. This background allows me to create branded content that feels elevated, authentic, and enduring, rather than purely promotional. As a result, I am often engaged as a creative partner rather than solely as a service provider.
