Hello there! 

My name is Andres, and I'm an Art Director and Creative from Guayaquil, Ecuador. Currently, I work as an Associate Creative Director/Art at Edelman in San Francisco. 

  I've been in the advertising industry for around 12 years, spending 7 of them living in 3 different cities abroad. During that time, I had the pleasure of meeting some truly talented individuals, traveling to spectacular places, and creating global campaigns. I also managed to win 12 Cannes Lions and around over 30 other advertising awards, helped transform a medium agency in South America into one of the top 10 agencies in the region, and creatively directed big clients like Corona in Mexico and NGOs like United Nations Women.  

I'm incredibly grateful to be doing what I do and enjoy collaborating to overcome any creative challenge that may come my way. If you'd like to know more about me or chat about art, clothing, or video games over a beer or two, feel free to reach out.
