I’m a Creative Strategist with a cultural vision
With 5+ years of experience in delivering strategic, creative, and innovation solutions across diverse categories, I specialise in crafting actionable insights rooted in semiotic analysis and cultural foresight.
In previous agency roles, I led high-impact projects for top global brands - including Tinder, Google, Dr. Martens, Diageo, Hearst, and Colpal - earning industry recognition through awards and conferences.
Being a ‘third culture kid’ (Cuban, British & Irish-American), and drawing from my academic grounding in Art History and Latin American Studies, I offer a rich, culturally nuanced approach. My experience across 20+ global markets equips me to help brands understand local nuances and adapt their strategies effectively.
Whether you're launching a new product, revitalising an existing brand, or expanding into new markets, I provide strategic guidance from concept to execution—or consultancy support tailored to your specific needs.

international fieldwork
I’ve conducted in-field research across Croatia, Czechia, Italy, Spain, Turkey, UK, and the USA.
On-the-ground research uncovers rich insights into evolving cultural and category dynamics, as well as local nuances. It allows for a closer look at packaging details, from textures and opening mechanisms, to those elusive back-of-pack shots. Fieldwork provides the opportunity to explore and document in-store and on-trade experiences and activations.
My previous fieldwork spans diverse studies, including Beer Culture, Rebellious Self-Expression, Modern Italianness, Premium Snacking, and Healthy Fun.
