Intro
About me
My name is Juan and I was born in the Caribbean. I grew up by the Pacific Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, learning from very different cultures from an early age. As a child, I traveled many years with my parents, while they pursued their interests in art and history.
When the time came, I chose to make a living by making beautiful stuff and telling stories.
Since the early 2000's I've worked on all types of media, across many industries, from broadcast to editorial, from digital to analogue. Along the way I've been an Architect, Web Designer, Advertising Creative, Design Consultant, and a Visual Designer, among others.
For many years I saw being a beginner as almost a weakness but now I embrace and pursue it as a mindset.
Today, in company of talented professionals and led by inspiring mentors, I enjoy exploring new ways of making digital products.
Currently, I'm experimenting with ways of working that include Creative Coding, Generative Design and Artificial Intelligence in the process. I believe that makers and designers should push the ways we make things, so that we may use our time differently and hopefully let nature, machines and people each do what they do best.
I travel, cook pasta and mix house music, among other stuff.
