I am a passionate and committed educator. I have been a teacher and lecturer at academic institutions in Mexico, Canada, Spain and the USA. During my 14 years teaching at the Vancouver Film School, I was honoured with multiple Best Course awards.I have designed visual communications for renowned celebrities such as Luis Miguel, Maná, Fey, Café Tacuba and Celine Dion, and was invited to be part of the blue ribbon committee at the Latin Grammy Awards. I have worked with companies such as Yamaha, Sony, Atlantic Records, Warner Music, Bank of Montreal, Apple and Motorola.In July 2016, after 8 years writing, directing and animating, I released the documentary Beware of Images. A fascinating exploration regarding the history, regulation and social effects of mediated representation, the film premiered to sold-out crowds at the Vancouver Film Centre. It was also screened at multiple academic forums such as the Oxford Brookes University and the American Public Health Association, and was the recipient of the STEM award for Most Educational Film at the Seattle Transmedia and Independent Film Festival. In July 2018 the film was made available for free through a Creative Commons license.In 2019 I moved to Spain to head the Design Program at the Marbella Design Academy. In 2021 I launched Moghoul, a casual-wear brand featuring original artworks that merge inspirations as diverse as Islamic patterns, pulpy monsters and contemporary street art.
