CREATIVE DIRECTOR -  DP FILM DIRECTOR - WEB ARCHITECT

CREATIVE DIRECTOR
COMMERCIAL TV DIRECTOR
WEB ARCHITECT

I was born and raised in Madrid, Spain, where I obtained my Bachelor of Fine Arts with a concentration in Design, a 5-year degree. After running my own design firm with two partners for over 8 years, I moved to the U.S. in 1996. I landed in San Antonio, TX where I was very excited to find the then largest Hispanic advertising agency Sosa, Bromley, Aguilar & Associates at a time when San Antonio was known as The Madison Avenue of Hispanic Advertising. That was the start of over 20 years of advertising agency experience, working at agencies in San Antonio and in Houston, TX. For a full work history, please visit my LinkedIn profile.

Here's a reference you can find in LinkedIn:
From Luis Gonzalez, Creative Director - BBDO New York  - May 25, 2015     
   
"There are few people that you can call a renaissance man (or woman) without reservation and Rafa is truly one of them. His experience runs deep and wide, and it seems like every time we talk he unveils, in his unassuming matter-of-fact way, one more incredible talent. Some of the things I know: restorer of antique paintings, travel guide through Africa and the Middle East, rancher, sailor, builder, creative director, writer, art director, designer, digital Swiss Army knife, photographer, editor, South-by-Southwester, computer ninja, and first in line to volunteer for anything at any time. His sense of duty, responsibility, ethics and justice is unimpeachable. His loyalty is girded in steel and his honesty is a guarantee and a bond. It was great working with Rafa and I look forward to collaborating with him in the future."

- Thank you, Luis.

And here are some pictures of how I've transformed over time ...
