01_ABOUT
Hi! My name is Diego. I’m a Freelance Designer and Photographer from Tenerife based in Barcelona mainly focused on Art Direction, Branding, and Filmmaking.
I’d describe my work as “The expression of investigation”.
After leaving my sunny and beautiful island in 2014, I started my professional journey in Barcelona and I’ve been here building it ever since.
I consider myself a very self-taught and curious person since I was a child. This has become a constant in my processes, allowing me to surround myself with people from many disciplines, feeding my curiosity and my admiration for new subjects and challenges.
