Art Director — Visual Communication & Brand Design
Form follows argument.
Practice
Brand identity, visual communication and art direction — from strategic concept through final execution across screen, space and brand touchpoints. Emmy and Cannes Lions award-winning broadcast background. Currently completing a Master's in Art Direction at LABASAD.
A brand interpretation succeeds when it moves beyond what the brand sells to reveal what the brand means—the emotional and cultural space it occupies in collective memory.
An authorial photographic interpretation of Arla—Sweden's most recognizable dairy brand and a cultural fixture woven into Nordic daily life. Rather than extending conventional product communication, the work asks: how might Swedish photographer Lars Tunbjörk reframe this institution? The project channels his sensibility—intimate, observational, and deeply rooted in Nordic identity—to explore what Arla means when seen through the lens of cultural belonging and domestic ritual.
The work abandons marketing logic in favor of narrative depth. Photography becomes a tool for interpreting identity: childhood memories, the material textures of Swedish domesticity, the unspoken rituals that anchor a culture. Each image operates as a conceptual study rather than a promotional asset, positioning the brand not as a product but as a symbol of continuity, trust, and the everyday practices that define a place and a people.

Lars TunbjörkVisual metaphor works when form becomes argument. The person imagined by a shoe is not drawn—it is constructed through the spatial and chromatic choices that define how that shoe perceives the world.
An exploration of brand personality through visual metaphor and lateral thinking. The exercise: stepping into the imagination of a brand object — a shoe — to imagine the kind of person it would create. Rather than rendering realistic portraiture, the work projects brand values through color, form, and composition. Each element becomes a signal: spatial relationships suggest personality, chromatic choices reveal sensibility, and abstract forms communicate the intangible qualities that define the brand's essence.
The methodology moves deliberately away from literalism. Where traditional brand work describes through representation, this project suggests through abstraction. The shoe becomes a character, and its imagined person emerges not from realistic detail but from the lateral relationships between visual elements—how they speak to courage, creativity, accessibility, and movement.

A solution that emerges from a fundamental insight: children thrive when playing with friends in environments where they feel safe. Through interviews and behavioral research, we discovered that the home — a space of comfort and security — becomes the ideal threshold for exploration and shared adventure.
The concept: augmented reality glasses that transform living rooms into shared worlds. Friends appear as avatars in the same augmented space, enabling cooperative play and discovery without leaving the safety of home. The technology becomes invisible; what remains is the pure joy of playing together.
Rather than competing on processing power or graphical fidelity, this solution prioritizes emotional safety, social connection, and the freedom to experiment without judgment. It makes Nintendo's philosophy tangible: play as a shared, joyful human act.

Cultural ContinuityTypography can argue. When each letterform carries historical resonance and spatial intention, the alphabet becomes political speech—not what is said, but how the saying itself is an act of collective imagination.
A typographic identity for Madrid's Batalla Naval de Vallecas — a 40-year festival rooted in countercultural memory and collective political expression. The festival operates on three simultaneous registers: playful water chaos, utopian demand (reclaiming Vallecas as an imaginary port to the sea), and collective voice, channeled through the annual refrain "Mójate por..." ("Get wet for...").
The typographic solution draws on the visual language of maritime piracy and the Golden Age of 17th- and 18th-century navigation, while rejecting pastiche. The letterforms remain contemporary and legible, but each carries the narrative weight of oceanic history. Every design decision — letter anatomy, weight distribution, spacing, formal relationships — references the festival's imaginary geography and populist roots.

Production TeamGood design doesn't begin with a tool — it begins with a clear creative vision. I'm an Art Director and Visual Communication designer with a background in broadcast and a specialisation in brand identity, creative campaigns and visual storytelling.
My work spans the full creative arc: from concept and art direction to final execution across screen, space and brand touchpoints. I integrate AI-assisted creative workflows naturally into my process — using generative and production tools to accelerate ideation and elevate the quality of final outputs.
My broadcast background — including Emmy and Cannes Lions award-winning productions for ESPN, FOX Sports and CBS — has shaped a discipline few Art Directors bring to the table: the ability to design entire visual ecosystems under pressure and lead creative decisions across a team in real time.
Master's in Art Direction for Communication — LABASAD, Barcelona. In progress, graduating October 2026.
