About

Born and raised in Panama, I was exposed to a tradition of design and art not based on Swiss grids or minimalism, but on reggae, diablos rojos, polleras, montunos, congos, molas and batas guaymies.  I grew up influenced by embracing the flow and energetic chaos of my culture, specially through movement and dance. These influences juxtapose with my intake of MTV and international printed fashion magazines.

My love for design and curiosity for culture drove me to study architecture, a pedagogical foundation core to my design approach. My curiosity for communication and technology landed me at Tisch’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP). There I discovered the power of performance and experience design as they both require concentration, clarity and collaboration while leveraging technology.

I had the opportunity to work at R/GA NY and LBi-Digitas before founding Teosantos in 2013. While working for these award wining digital agencies, I understood the rigorous practice of simplicity in order to execute complex projects and large scale collaborations.

I come from the school of creative chaos in order to make sense of the world.  My cultural diversity and exposure to different tribes: from tech to dance to art, has given me the flexibility and openness to work with a diversity of teams and projects, which I seek to continue to engage with energy, curiosity and excitement.
