About Me

I'm a graphic designer that works on audiovisual installations and branding. I Also teach subjects on design, philosophy and new media at Autonomous University of State of Mexico.
I perform in 3 music bands with different styles (electronic fusion (malefics), electronic cumbia (Sonido San Francisco) and ambient (no musiq designer). but
my main work is related on Information Visualisation, Information Design and interaction Design which are the topics of my PhD research.
I like arts and science, outdoors activities, sports, meetings, visiting museums and exhibitions and food.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been in a tour with my bands around different countries (the USA, Colombia, now Spain and Germany) Since I am a teacher I have to coordinate conferences and lectures in those countries so I can have permission for traveling. Those lectures and conferences talks about how me and a friend build a map of our city's sound heritage, how we use this map for urban studies and how to enhance local identity through creative manipulation of sound heritage.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach vjing and video-mapping methods, graphic design and advertising strategies, how to build aesthetics experiences through interaction design, Mexican culture, history and geography.

I want to learn about everything, world is to big to keep your self into the confort zone.

I can share my home in Valencia, until august, my home in Mexico, books, I can be a tour guide in Mexico or Valencia :-)

Food, Books, Digital files and Software for creative purposes, Drinks.
