Why I should hire Diego?
Art Director who lives and breathes big ideas (with Digital First as their approach). I have a proven track record of bringing them to life. I also consider myself like someone with a highly conceptual creative with a strong eye for Art Direction and Design who can conceptualize and lead fully integrated campaigns with digital first thinking.
