Hello!
Glad you made it this far!
Since we are here, I will tell you some more about me.
I studied Visual Arts at the National University of Córdoba, specializing in drawing and painting. Where I met and worked alongside an incredible bunch of talented individuals (my wife included!), we embarked on some really great art projects that ignited our imaginations and (certainly) changed the way I perceive the world.
Fast forward to 2004, while I was still in art school, a fantastic opportunity knocked on my door. Almost out of nowhere, I was asked by a friend to come help them as a Junior Designer at a publishing house, where I got to work on a national fishing magazine. And guess what? It was love at first design! Typography, colors, and composition… working with the first Mac I had ever seen! was captivating, everything about graphic design hooked me. It didn’t take long for me to climb the ladder and become the Lead Designer and Art Director, working there for over 5 years.
Throughout my career, I’ve been incredibly fortunate to collaborate with exceptional professionals, taking on exciting challenges and relying on my creativity as my primary tool to approach them all.
I’m a curious soul, always hungry for new knowledge and learning. Over the past 17 years, I’ve ventured into various realms, expanding my skill set beyond design and illustration. I’ve delved into the ins and outs of printing processes, geeked out over HTML, CSS, and WordPress (yep, even picked up a bit of PHP), and dabbled in video editing, frame-by-frame animation, studio photography, and 3D modeling.
This eclectic mix of skills and experiences has not only shaped me as a designer but has also made me a versatile team player. I thrive on new projects and cherish collaborating with diverse individuals from different fields. With a holistic understanding of the design process, I bring a well-rounded perspective to every project, coming up with diverse solutions for beautiful problems.
I would be delighted if you write me a few lines at pazjuanmaria@gmail.com. Thank you for reading <3
