Hi! I’m Rod, a Content Director with 15+ years creating for top brands in Madrid, LA, Chicago, London, and Amsterdam. I started in music videos and evolved through post-production, art direction, and content creation, always turning ideas into bold, original visual universes. Deeply connected to trends, culture, music, and design, I thrive on crafting work that surprises and inspires.
And yes, I also speak fluent AI (I collaborate with it, I don’t let it take over… yet).
