His work as a creative director garnered several awards including Cannes Lions, FIAP, NY Festivals, San Sebastian, ADDY’s amongst others.

After a successful career as a creative director, directing felt like the natural next step.

Today, through YBP (The Yellow Butterfly Project) he combines his advertising experience and his film-making talent to serve clients and agencies alike with crafted and smart storytelling in all traditional and digital media.
