CV

About
Hello 👋🏼 , I’m a designer, creative director, and independent hotelier based in Costa Rica. I create hospitality projects that feel distinctive, thoughtful, and grounded in their context. 

I also work with brands, whether new or established, to help them shape their creative and art direction, creating a visual and narrative language that feels clear and true to their DNA.

I’ve also recently expanded my practice into photography, trying to capture images that reflect the character of a brand or a place. I feel lucky to be able to work across disciplines and bring together ideas, people, and places in ways that feel purposeful and memorable.
