Hola.
I’m Christopher — a culture-first Creative Director. I build worlds, not wallpaper.
I’ve got a suspicious amount of range (copywriter / editor / translator / strategist / musician / former non-profit wrangler) because the best ideas don’t stay in one lane — they cross borders, hijack channels, and start the right kind of trouble.
Chicago-born, Mexico City-sharpened. I build brand platforms that feel human in more than one language — English, Spanish, Spanglish — whatever tells the truth best.
I’m not here for work that blends in. I like ideas you feel first… then screenshot, debate, and drop in the group chat like evidence. Ideas that move culture instead of chasing it.
If it lives in culture, I want in.
