Computer:
In my work (almost house) a Mac Pro with OS X dual core 2.3GHz PowerPC. This is my tool, and I love it.

Illustrator CS2, this is the $#%7. But I got to be honest I can live without Freehand, Photoshop and  Firefox (ajajaja)

Favorite Designers:
I am kinda fool in this aspect but I have seen work from Álvaro Sánchez (GUA), Mynor Hernández (GUA), Carlos Pirir (GUA), Jay Lim (MAL), Shue Cane (SPA), Derek Yu (EUA) and Marcello Serpa (BRA) that inspires me. But I found a large number of talent people everywhere... the names above are just a few.

Where are you currently working?
I am working in BBDO Guatemala in the Final Art Group. My job is not properly design but I have the chance to work with great people (designer and creatives) and make my stily nicer and better. That's why I feel like flattered with this "fresh ink" invitation. The team in this advertising agency is heavy, great and exhausting, but very fun and amazing.

What do you do outside of your daily work?
Besides the work, the work, the work ajajaj play wii, try to chat and try to be updated. Just go and walk down the street and find people that doesnt work in this to catch new things. And try to do a little bit of exercise ajajaj Sitting all day long in front of the computer makes some people lazy bastards ajajaj.

How would you describe your style work?
Mmmmm interesting question?(ajajajaja) I think in minimalistic, simple. Sometimes too much. I try to pull something new to the big picture. You never know when you are gonna need a different technique.

If there was one thing you could change about the web, what would it be?
SPAM of course. It is a annoyng issue that must be stopped.

Your designs have a unique style to them, where do your ideas and inspirations come from?
Ajajajaj for who? ajajaj tnx is very nice to hear (read) this ajajaj. Well I don´t know where it came the inspirations, sometimes is a color others a word, a font type, a texture and my girl. Just when you have a theme and it clicks with the correct trigger I shoot it myself. I try to look for new things, new conversations, different points of view. It really helps to make designs and everything else in life... I guess.

What do you find the hardest thing about design?
Subject... make clear the message... when you find a dark end alley, it seems never-ending but is not forever but when it happens is the hardest thing.

What would be your ideal job?
As an assignment... a job with open doors to my suggestions... As a work a real job mmmm... I think in a $$$ job with lots of time to look for and try, to experiment. A no boundaries job.

And finally, what do you think of Urban Collective?
Its the best idea someone could have. A great way to get exposure. Find great talent, and share work and other stuffs. A friend of mine gave me the link and I fell in love of this concept. Keep pushing and TNX VERY FREAKING MUCH for the interview.
