I was born in the tropics and raised by artists. Creativity defined my upbringing, my personal infrastructure.

I grew up drawing, playing music (piano, guitar, upright bass), and singing, while being educated at elite institutions and navigating the world through multiple languages and cultures.

Early on, I thought I wanted to be President of the United States. What I actually wanted was simpler, and harder: to change the world for the better. That goal hasn’t changed, but the method has.

Today, I do it through design, strategy, and creation. My power is truth-telling: by asking the right questions, identifying the real problems, and building systems that align people, businesses, and long-term impact.

I’m an artist who understands value creation. Highly creative. Highly sensitive. And responsible for generating tens of millions of dollars.

I don’t lead traditionally. I create order intuitively. I collaborate deeply, make space for others, and design with the big picture in mind: users, stakeholders, constraints, and vision.

My work isn’t for everyone. It’s for those who recognize vision, nuance, and intention. If that’s you, welcome.
