Cancer with Virgo rising. Colombian based in Mexico City. Ideas, art, and creativity enthusiast with experience in international markets including Peru and the United Arab Emirates since 2012. Currently working at TikTok as a Creative Strategist.

Started my career as a copywriter which helped me to integrate my skills as a creative director focused on art direction as well, however, my eye-crafted and strategic point of view led me to develop my career managing teams and projects for some local, regional, and global brands.

My good performance in entertainment brands motivated me to work on ‘Berraca', my debut film inspired by the life story of my mother, dedicated to the brave women who take responsibility for themselves and their children.

  • "I hired Giovanni to be a key part of my creative team and I really admire his work and personality. Gio is a passionate, super talented and committed creative professional, with a big scope for art direction and graphic design as well, and a vast visual and personal culture. He embraced my vision of a sustainable, mature creative work and worked on every detail to make it happen, coaching a new breed of designers that worked with him at the same time. I feel privileged to have worked with him and recommend him for any creative team that wants to do serious, real work and grow in quality."

Not only are his designing skills unparalleled, his creative and strategic approach to briefs and projects lead to business results and ultimately award-winning executions. I’ve seen him foster and champion mentees, taken leadership responsibilities that go beyond the creative excellence, creating synergy between cross-functional teams and leading teams and brands to outgrow even their own expectations and pre-established goals."
