Colombia - Where my journey begins.

My journey began in the vibrant streets of Colombia, where colors, shapes, music, rhythm and a rich culture danced in harmony. It was at the Politecnico GranColombiano that I immersed myself in the world of audiovisual media and communication technologies. Here, I delved into a diverse curriculum, encompassing graphic design, audio production, television and film production, photography and art history. This multifaceted experience was a journey of self-discovery and learning, where I expanded my skills in various communication forms.

 

Cuba – Human after all.

Immersing myself in the International School for Film and Television, EICTV, I dived into the Stanislavski directing actors method. It was here that I discovered the profound importance of understanding people, their inner worlds and how to talk to them. This understanding became a cornerstone for my career, enabling me to make individuals speak and feel comfortable in front of cameras or interviews, facilitating effective and honest communication.

 

New York - Cinematic Heights.

The bustling streets of New York City became my canvas as I enrolled in the New York Film Academy. Here, in between skyscrapers, I dived into the world of filmmaking. I directed films, edited narratives, and embraced the power of storytelling, all while absorbing the city's cinematic energy and working with talented filmmakers from all over the world.

 

São Paulo - The Fusion of Creativity.

São Paulo, a melting pot of cultures, provided the backdrop for my next chapter. Fluent in Portuguese, I collaborated with renowned production companies, including Dinamo Films. Working alongside in projects, including creating and distributing the content of the music concert for Sepultura, a Brazilian heavy metal legend.

 

Germany - Mastering Content Creation and Digital Experiences.

In Germany, at LIXIL EMENA, I was entrusted with the role of Manager for Digital Content and Experience, overseeing cross-functional teams and ensuring end-to-end content delivery. This role allowed me to merge technology with creativity, evident in projects such as the creation of VR experiences and GROHE X, where I worked closely with IBM developers.

 

I played pivotal roles in both the advertising agency von Mannstein and my entrepreneurial venture, Internauts GmbH. At von Mannstein, I introduced digital and film capabilities, elevating the agency's offerings and collaborating with prestigious clients like FDP and CDU, contributing to national and European elections, along with iconic brands like Aston Martin. Later, at Internauts GmbH, I embarked on a journey of creativity and content creation. I collaborated with international teams from the United States, Colombia, Brazil, and Germany. Together, we delivered tailored content solutions for German consumer goods businesses, always with a keen eye for merging technology and creativity.
