¿Somos libres de elegir, o ya decidieron por nosotros?

El tiempo no pide permiso ni da tregua. Es fuerza que arrastra todo a su paso, desarmando formas, ideas y realidades hasta reducirlas a un estado irreconocible, donde el cambio deja de ser una opción y se convierte en destino. El trayecto se vuelve irrelevante, tal vez sólo el desenlace tiene peso, porque es ahí donde las leyes se imponen y todo alcanza su forma más pura. Según la termodinámica, ese punto final antes del equilibrio, al que se le llama umbral de transformación, marcará el pulso de lo que inevitablemente será, crecerá y, al final, se convertirá en algo distinto, más probable, más estable.

Así, la física predice la historia.

Soft branding design for a footwear retail store in Caracas.

Making noise in silence.

It’s walking calmly, without rush, letting your style speak for you. Because sometimes, the real impact is the one that isn’t heard, but felt.

Swipe to see how we translated this concept into a visual identity that speaks volumes.

A couple of days ago, I found myself asking people for their earrings in the middle of the street. Why? Well, because I was late for a photoshoot after getting lost in the south of Madrid. Anyone who has ever ventured there with GPS should know the kind of vortex you enter when you go through the tunnels that block your Maps signal.

That's how I got lost on my way to pick up the flashes, which led me to be late. As I was rushing through Madrid following my GPS, suddenly my phone died. I couldn't call anybody, nor could I look up the address. I didn't know what to do. That morning, while organizing all my gear, I took an iPhone I bought a couple of weeks back, which I hadn't been able to use because I'm a professional procrastinator. I wanted to take cool BTS with it but fearing it would get scratched or lost amidst the chaos of the sesh, I left it. But, for some mystical reason, as I was already on the elevator, I got the urge to go back and grab it.

There I was, not knowing what to do, when, the iPhone!. I took it out only to realize I didn't have any tiny sticks to open the SIM card slot. BTW, why do we all agreed that SIM slots should be that hard to open? I got out of the car and began asking strangers for their earrings, like a mad person on a mission.

Don't ask me how, I eventually opened the SIM card slot and made it to Cotorrita, where I found a beautiful group of people who were so invested in making the shoot happen that I completely forgot about the BTS. Everything went so smoothly, and everyone was awesome, professional, good-looking, and knew how to grind. We Millennials and zoomers just know our poses and best angles. The result: these beautiful shots that will always remind me to be more calm and embrace the chaos the world sometimes offers us. Just go with the flow, and you never know when a kind Chinese woman, on her break inside her closed store, eating directly from a tupperware, will stop her meal to help you out by giving you her toothpick to open a SIM card slot.

Three years ago, I had the opportunity to work on a brand identity design project for FRZN, a high-end ice company based in Venezuela. As a brand strategist and designer, I always enjoy the challenge of helping clients clarify and bring their vision to life, even when they don't have a clear idea of what they want.

Working with the team at FRZN was a great experience. They knew they wanted to establish a premium brand for their ice products, but they weren't sure how to do it. That's where I came in. Through a collaborative process, we were able to craft a sleek and modern brand identity that perfectly captures the essence of FRZN's products.

I'm so proud of the work we did for FRZN and am thrilled to see their brand continue to grow and succeed in the market.

A big thank you to .mockup for the stunning mockups! Your attention to detail and ability to bring my designs to life never cease to amaze me. Your mockups truly make my designs shine. Thank you for always going above and beyond to create something special.

They say you should not meet your heroes

Last year I took my shot and wrote a DM to Luke, this Creator I've been following for years now, a big inspiration for my photography and one of those accounts you could easily find repeated under my "saved" at least 200 times. One day I just responded to one of his stories and asked him for advice on maintaining consistency on my IG feed, to my surprise, he answered almost immediately. I told him how much I appreciated his work and we ended up in a conversation about branding and logo design (don't ask me why or how, just my inner salesman being invasive I guess), sent him a link to my service page offering a logo for free but he refused since he wanted to pay, I told him I was a fan and contributing to his process in any way would be an honor so he offered me his ENTIRE lightroom tutorials for free, (now reading back the DMs I realized I accepted too quickly and too easily haha)

After a couple of meetings, some emails, and what can be described as a logo storm ASSAULT (I think I was so excited I ended up overwhelming him) we ended up choosing just a logo and isotype for a small section of his website.

In the end, talking to this person I have been admiring for so long, getting to meet him, and doing something for him no matter how small, was a surreal experience... Being able to enter his Linktree and seeing something of my creation under such a big and talented name is just priceless, and nothing else but amazing, so don't listen to what THEY have to say (whoever THEY might be) just follow your gut and write to those who you admire, as long as you are polite, genuine and non-invasive I'm sure you'll have a positive interaction, at the end they're humans.. just like you.

Thanks again to .mockup for the cool mockups

What is the definition of a good sale? Is it profit? Is it the satisfaction on your clients' faces? What is it?

2 years ago I had my first child, Julieta. As a brand new parent on my way to buy baby formula for days old baby, I stumbled upon the CBD shop, there was Oscar, the owner of the shop, at the front desk, ready to answer any questions this coffee-intoxicated, disperse and frenetic person was about to shoot, and as the good Venezuelan that I am, that as we say: "talks through his elbows" I didn't under-delivered, luckily for me, this guy was kind, patient, and geeky about his stuff, the kind of person I love to assault with my intense conversations, nice guy, maybe too nice.

While showing me all the “flowers” and options I had to start my CBD journey, I noticed an inconsistency in the branding while holding one of the CBD bags, as the geeky designer that I am, I was kind enough to point it out while whispering to myself out loud like a crazy person in the worst and most sincere way possible; Oscar, abruptly intervened in my crazy self-talk and agreed to what I was saying, and so, a great and dense conversation about branding emerged out of the blue, from that day I was supposed to buy formula and rush back home with my lovely and desperate half.

Oscar then contacted me and the coolest and easy-going work relationship started. We redesigned the brand through the agency I founded back in 2020 with my dear cousin .

A great sale, not looking for it, on a random, chilly, sunny day, after a long and juicy conversation with a stranger.

This version of the design isn't the final, this one stuck with me and I just love it. The final design that Oscar choose was mostly done by and soon I will be sharing it with you since it is beautiful.
