About Matias

Born and raised in Chile with American roots, I merge the best of both worlds with my analytical thinking and creative instinct. Bilingual, culturally fluent, and built for cross-disciplinary storytelling.

Design by Instinct.
Strategy by Practice.

Most marketers don’t know the difference between making things "pop” and making things work. Most designers think branding stops at a style guide. I know better, because I’ve worn both hats in my time.
To sharpen both skill sets, I earned a degree in Digital Design. Then I went deeper: a Master’s in Digital Marketing & Analytics.
Most designers think they "get" marketing. Most marketers think they "get" design. I’m the rare individual who actually gets both. I understand user behavior, performance funnels, and the emotional arcs that make people click, sign up, and remember you.

Skills & Perspectives

I grew up bilingual in Chile and the U.S., absorbing two cultures and two ways of thinking. As a kid, I taught myself Photoshop, Illustrator, and After Effects from YouTube. ADHD gave me a superpower: I couldn’t always express ideas in the moment, but I could design them. That instinct led me to develop my visual language.

The Bridge'd Gap

With digital marketing and digital design at my fingertips, I don’t just bridge the gap; I work from the middle. Most designers don’t understand data, while marketers forget about storytelling. I’ve studied and practiced both. That means I can craft visuals that convert, campaigns that communicate, and strategies that move with purpose. This isn’t surface-level fluency—it’s native thinking on both sides of the brain. When brands need both performance and presence, that’s where I fit in.

A Little More Detail About Me

I’m a drummer. I’ve played in bands, in bars, on stages, and in studios. Music has taught me rhythm, tempo, restraint, and collaboration. It’s no surprise I love editing video, building soundscapes, and shaping moments that land just right.
I run Dungeons & Dragons campaigns with friends. I read about space for fun. I build worlds in my head and bring them to life through visuals. I don’t just design—I worldbuild. Strategy and storytelling are the same to me: it’s all about making someone feel something. Curiosity is my compass. Execution is my standard.

Creative Direction Meets Performance Strategy

I specialize in building creative that performs: data-backed, narrative-rich, strategically sound campaigns. From motion graphics to multi-platform funnels, I lead with clarity of vision and a deep understanding of how audiences think, feel, and behave. I don’t just make things "look good," I make them work.
From corporate clients to musicians, nonprofits, politicians, and startups—I’ve done it all. I’ve led motion comic teams, art directed brand launches, built social ad campaigns from scratch, and designed entire content ecosystems. Every deliverable? On brief, on message, and on purpose.
I’ve shipped over 850 creative assets. Led more than 35 campaigns. And I’m proud to say I’ve never missed a deadline.
