about me

Hi! My name is Miguel and I’m a graduate of the University of Florida with a Bachelor’s degree in Advertising and a certificate in Creative Advertising. Art has been my passion since childhood, inspired by my addiction to cartoons, which I never recovered from (I have Betty Boop tattooed on me). Over time, I have wanted to work in countless creative positions, from animation to traditional art and now art direction. I would love to work for any company that prioritizes creativity and bold ideas; I want nothing more than to push boundaries when I go to work.

In my free time, I love listening to new music and going to concerts with my friends, all of whom I work tirelessly to annoy and aggravate. I also love film and keeping up with new movies as they come out (my Letterboxd is just chick flicks). Other than that, I have a very toxic relationship with caffeine and an even more abusive relationship with my espresso machine.

After I graduate in May 2024, I hope to work for a company that pushes me to my creative limits and expands my portfolio and skillset. For now, I’m based in Gainesville, Florida, but I would love to travel anywhere and everywhere. Seriously, I’ll move. Just say the word.
