My story
From a young age, I have experimented storytelling in different forms: fiction film, documentary, television, theatre, video-art and advertising. I am natural born storyteller and I have acquired a reputation for visually distinctive programs that delivers an emotional punch.
After growing up in Mexico in 1996 I relocate to Rome, Italy where I am currently based.
