HUMANBY DESIGN.

I build the systems
behind better creative work.

From global entertainment to applied AI.
Human judgment is the throughline.

SELECTED WORK
CREATIVE DIRECTIONGLOBAL CONTEXTAPPLIED INTELLIGENCE
THE HUMAN VARIABLEAn interactive study in human judgment

The machine is only as creative as the world you teach it to see.

I spent 15+ years making and moving creative work across global entertainment. Now I turn that lived judgment into AI products, workflows and experiences.

Craft, context and systems in relationThe network becomes more resolved with craft, expands with context and gains connections with systems. Human judgment remains at its center.JUDGMENTTHE HUMAN INPUT

A changing pattern. A constant human center.

YOUR DIRECTION BRIEF

One idea.
A world of context.

A fictional bookshop film: a book opens into a miniature city. A direction study shaped by your inputs.

  1. 01 / Craft

    Shape a tactile clay world with visible thumbprints, warm practical light and restrained stop-motion.

    Review gateMatch the book, character and palette across the opening, midpoint and final frame.

  2. 02 / Context

    Write market-specific notes for language, props and cultural references. Protect curiosity while inviting local authorship.

    Review gateRecord local approval for each market. Unresolved meaning or stereotype concerns hold delivery.

  3. 03 / Systems

    Prepare 16:9 and 9:16 versions from the approved sequence, with a shared reference pack and a versioned review log.

    Review gateCheck every frame for flicker and object drift; verify end-card legibility and crop safety before sign-off.

01 / SELECTED WORKIDEAS, PUT TO WORK.

The thinking.
The difference.

A selection of systems, creative work
and decisions I’ve helped shape.

AMAZON QUICK · PRIME VIDEO

Make knowledge
work harder.

Amazon Quick Ambassador

I developed an LLM-powered assistant for the Prime Video localization team using Amazon Quick. As an Amazon Quick Ambassador, I help colleagues put AI to practical use.

The challenge

Guidance was spread across documents, processes and people. A useful answer needed context, a clear source and an actionable next step.

My contribution

Knowledge architecture, workflow design and team enablement: making production guidance easier to find and use, with human review built into the process.

02 / A POINT OF VIEWTHE HUMAN PART IS THE POINT.

I don’t ask what
AI can make.
I ask what the
work needs.

Technology should expand the work—not erase the people who understand it.

That means defining intent, designing useful systems and keeping people accountable for the decisions that matter.

01 / HUMAN JUDGMENT

Set the intent. Know the audience. Decide which source wins when inputs disagree.

02 / MACHINE CAPABILITY

Find relevant guidance, structure a first draft and surface missing information.

THE DECISIONA producer approves the brief before another team acts on it.

03 / THE THROUGHLINEFull résumé ↗

I know the work.
I’ve been in it.

Before I designed systems for creative teams, I spent years inside the ambiguity those systems have to survive.

Production sets. Global campaigns. Localization at scale. Each chapter informs the work I build today.

Born in Rosario. Based in Los Angeles.
Fluent in English, Spanish and Italian.
Proficient in Portuguese.
