About me

I started out on film sets in Chile as a grip and camera assistant, working on feature films such as Dulce familia, No estoy loca and Hazlo como hombre — Chilean productions whose remake rights went on to sell across Latin America. After completing a Bachelor’s in Audiovisual Communications and a Master’s in Film and Video Studies at Universidad de Chile, I moved to Berlin, where I shifted from set work into direction and content production.

Since 2020 I have produced and directed video content for Cyberobics, and since 2022 I have worked as Senior Producer at RSG Group, building virtual fitness content and video campaigns for McFIT, JOHN REED and Gold’s Gym — covering everything from concept and scripting to shooting, editing, color grading and platform delivery.

Alongside client work, I develop my own projects at the intersection of storytelling and technology, including Neulab OS, a system for creative and content automation currently in development.
