Hola!
I write. A lot.
I'm a hands-on creative with a sweet tooth for strategy. Whatever challenge is there to tackle, I will find a way to nail it. How... you may wonder. Simple: I have a passion for people.
By understanding people, we will be able to create the best experience, brand or product.
Either working independently or while leading a team, I make sure to add value to the brands, companies and people I work with.

I'm a polyglot and I'm crazy about languages. Understanding cultural practices ingrained in different communities has transformed me into an ethnology enthusiast who seeks for authentic insights and engaging ways to express them. Or a truly international creative director, if you prefer.
I love words, data & films. I believe they connect us. You can read all about it in my published chapter “Netflix at the Nexus” (Peter Lang Publishing, 2019).
When I'm not working, I dance lindy-hop and practice boxing. I'm convinced comms should be the same as a great jab-cross: powerful and precise.

I teach. I cook. I travel. And of course, you guessed right... I write.
You can find me obsessively writing in a Brooklyn café, blogging about my travels on
Bites & Kms & LatidoBeat where I tell stories about people and places through food.

Uruguay for Export
Being from Uruguay always implies being also the first at something.
"Oh, you're the first Uruguayan I know" people usually tell me, followed by "Is Luis Suarez the famous football player from Uruguay?", "Your president drives his own car, right?"
I have the honor to be the only Uruguayan Female Creative Director in Madison Avenue.
And I want to be the first of many. We are a small country, but giant in potential.

Uruguay thrives in creativity and pioneers in progressive and inclusive approaches to business, lifestyle and culture. With my work, passion and "Uruguayan-ness" I'm in a worldwide crusade to make sure the world knows about it.
