I grew up in Guatemala up until I was 16 years old when I moved to London, where I found my passion for film. Since then I’ve lived in Boston and Los Angeles working as a Production Designer, Costume Designer, and Fashion Stylist. Both cities gave me the chance to direct my own short films. One being the awards “Belly Up” which you can view on this site. I’m now based in Barcelona where I’m taking the experiences I’ve had around the world into a Directing Masters at ESCAC. Immigration, globalism, and multiculturalism are concepts that are near and dear to me. However don’t get me started on hip-hop or science fiction because I can really go all day.
