There’s nothing more difficult to speak about yourself, don’t you agree? The better way is your work speak for you. That’s why in this section you’ll find a little about what we call “pro career”.
I love what I do and do it with passion; don’t think it’s worth to live life in any other way…
Answers? No, not too much. Keep learning… :)
Since I was a kid was influenced by paint, architecture, arte in general, thanks to my parents who leave in the house a big library with big illustrated books.
Like sports a lot, mainly rugby, which -beyond life values and lot of friends- shows me the way to join that passion to an unknown one: create. That’s why being a teenage decide to create “Hand Off”, a rugby magazine. And that was my very beginning in photography, advertising, writing and design (or at least tried that…)
Objectives? Lots, but mainly never leave this passion. Attitude? Blank page, e-mail, ftp, messenger or webcam, everything is possible, there’s no creative boundaries.
I’m thankful to all the people who been with me and influenced in my career and those who write this comments about me (told you was difficult to speak for yourself… that’s why, among my portfolio, there’s also the people who better known me and speak for me).
