The design of the space that supports the words and actions depicted on scripts is my central focus. It is the center of the puzzle I deconstruct which allows that world to exist. Spanning set design, styling and decorating a wide variety of concepts for editorials, film and television, I pursue each project as an isolated world that supports the actions that thread the narrative. Nothing less, nothing more. I believe the space evoques and grounds its inhabitants by existing, not appropriating. I live and breath ART, my collaborations deliver what Writers and Directors envision. My diverse background comes up constantly in my work. On layered textures, curated hues and contours, shapes and meaning. I define my collaboration as giving shape to yours.
My childhood elapsed between Europe and The United States; my adolescence began in Venezuela, land of my parents and my definite identity. I fell in love with the urban vibe of Caracas, it’s cultural richness and polarizing beauty. The many artistic institutions, libraries and temples of thought that supported my Design School era at the Instituto de Diseño de Caracas, a prestigious Design School that followed the Bruno Munari method. I emerged as an Industrial Designer. Towards the end of my studies I joined the Scenery Department at the Teresa Carreño Theater, my first glimpse at Stage Design. I would go on to follow this new found passion in The States at the end of the century where I began collaborations as Set Decorator for music videos, advertisement and editorials. After a few years I moved to Madrid where I was offered a position as Photographic Editor at Condè Nast. I took pleasure in many other editorial rolls that included producing, set styling and authoring several fashion, travel and design articles and editorials. After two years I parted yet continued as a freelance collaborator. I began to explore film in short format and continued designing, writing and traveling.
I currently live in Los Angeles where I continue my craft focusing on narrative.
