Storyteller & Creative Director helping brands find their voice — and say something worth hearing.
Hey there — I’m Agustín, a Creative Director / Art Director with an O-1B visa, currently open to freelance gigs and full-time opportunities.
My work’s been recognised at major festivals, and more recently I’ve helped win pitches for brands like Buchanan’s, Pfizer, and Progressive in the U.S. market.
Over the years, I’ve held both freelance and permanent roles across the U.S., UK, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Spain, Dubai, Brazil, and Uruguay — my home country — working with top agencies and global clients.
I’ve helped established brands strengthen their connection with audiences, and emerging ones find their voice. Strategic thinking, sharp storytelling, and a decent dose of resilience are a few things I’ve picked up along the way.
Still figuring out how to write a proper bio, though. :)
