Born and raised in Caracas Venezuela, and brought to the US at age 17, I graduated from West High School in Iowa City and attended the University of Iowa - School of Art and Art History. Majoring in both graphic arts and cinema, I obtained a BFA with honors in 2009.

Currently working as a freelance/non-union Director of Photography and Motion Designer in Chicago, I have gained a wide variety of experience in numerous multimedia outlets and diverse work environments, ranging from graphic design and web development for small businesses, to cinematography, VFXs and color correction/grading of local independent feature films.
