About me


I am originally from Mexico City. I moved to San Diego when I was 8 and have been here ever since. Spanish is my native language, and that's what I speak most of the time.
(I do have to say that speaking Spanish in California is a huge advantage.)

Right out of High school
, I went to the Art Institute of California, and got my Bachelor's Degree in Advertising. The Art Institute was a great school. I learned the fundamental rules of adverting as well as the computer skills needed to become a graphic designer. Wanting to learn more about the latest web design and video editing programs, I took several courses on the side.
My first job out of college was at a publishing company where I was a junior designer. That was a great experience because it gave me a chance to learn how a publication comes together.

A year into my publishing experience I realized that my freelance work was becoming more and more popular, so I decided to officially start my own company and that's where Globalcentrix was born.

Globalcentrix was a web and design studio. My business partner handled the business side, while I the design.

Two and a half years later, I decided that I needed to go back to the work force and get some more experience, so I started looking for a job at an advertising agency. With luck on my side I landed a job at a great advertising and promotions agency. There, I got to handle major accounts like the Lysol Cleaner Line, Pepcid, Dr. Scholls, Sparkletts Water, Spray 'n Wash, among others.

A couple of years later I decided to test the waters on the other side, and joined Corporate America. I landed a job in the marketing department of a major medical services company where I worked at for almost two years.

My last job was as a Creative Manager for a couple of high end retail stores.
