Creative leader with 8+ years in creative direction, advertising, educational content, cinematography and AI production. I build the workflows behind the work, mixing generative AI, motion graphics and AI-assisted coding, and I teach what I know.
My work as an AI creative director, in one reel.

Motzi is the motion graphics tool I wrote in code. It turns a script into animation beat by beat, timed to each spoken phrase, with automatic sound design and a saved aesthetic per project. I've designed more than 100 styles for it. These are six of them. Pick one and this page switches to it.
An AI documentary that won a creation grant in 2026. It's in development now. I'll use a ComfyUI + Higgsfield + Claude workflow to turn live-action footage into animation in a one-line drawing style.
My motion graphics tool, written in code with AI assistants. It turns a script into animation timed to each spoken phrase, and it has a catalog of more than 100 styles I designed. Six of them are in Lab 2026.
Custom plugins and apps for editing and production work.
A mobile app I built with AI-assisted coding (vibe coding).
A documentary I co-directed with María Bello and edited. It rescues very old, damaged photographs and brings them back with AI restoration. Watch the documentary (opens in a new tab).
I believe in technology that empowers creators and in stories that move people.
I've spent 8+ years moving between creative direction, ad campaigns, educational content, cinematography, editing and color. At Platzi I've inspired my team to try new approaches to editing and motion graphics, and we now get higher visual quality in less time.
I work with generative AI every day: Midjourney, Adobe Firefly, DALL·E, ComfyUI, Higgsfield and many LLMs, including local models on Ollama. I know what each one does well and where it falls short, and I read the metrics to make the next piece better.
I'm a teacher as much as a maker.
I break a craft like color grading or generative AI into steps people can follow, and I adapt it to the room: university students, online learners, creative teams or executives. It's the same skill I use to mentor my team.
