Hi, I’m Rod, a Creative Director with 15+ years creating for top brands across Madrid, LA, Chicago, London and Amsterdam.
I started in music videos and evolved through post-production, art direction and content, always turning ideas into bold visual worlds.
Deeply connected to culture, trends, music and design, I’m at my best creating work that feels fresh, sharp and unexpected.
And yes, I also speak fluent AI. I collaborate with it, I don’t let it take over... yet.
