Biography

I'm a multidisciplinary Colombian Graphic Designer based in Leipzig, Germany; working as a SENIOR UI ARTIST at BLIZZARD ENTERTAINMENT on DIABLO IV for over 6 years ( from Leipzig, Munich and Hamburg in Germany; and Irvine, California in USA ). Honored to be the first BLIZZARD employee working abroad. I'm 45 years old and I have 24+ years experience in different fields as advertising, prints, font design, corporate identity, web design, tv, video games and mobile games for clients and projects in Latin America, United States and Europe. I have worked at GOOD GAME STUDIO ( Hamburg ) as a SENIOR UI ARTIST for an Unannounced AAA game and a variety of mobile games; and at CD PROJEKT RED ( Warsaw ), as a UI ARTIST in the AAA projects THE WITCHER 3 - WILD HUNT and early prototypes for CYBERPUNK 2077. As image lover/creator/explorer I started my professional career back in Colombia working for small advertising agencies even before started to study at the university. I’m graduated with honors and my career has been echoed in areas as corporate identity, typeface design (I have created over 20 of them) and especially illustration. Parallel to my professional work I’m developing consistently personal works with which I had also won international recognitions and been exhibited at various events and countries (Colombia, Argentina, Mexico, USA, Poland, Germany, among others) ; my artworks are as well constantly reviewed in publications of art and design as IdN Magazine, Imagine FX Magazine, 2D Artists, DPI Magazine, 46 PGS and Proyecto Diseño among others, and is also featured in specialized blogs of design and / or illustration due to the expressive quality of my work.
