Toda la vida me ha gustado la estética de las cosas. Cuando era niño aspiraba a ser médico, pero pudo más mi pasión por el dibujo. Pasé muchos años haciendo historietas durante la primaria y secundaria, y mi objetivo principal era el de publicar un cómic. Al terminar el bachillerato, opté por estudiar Diseño Gráfico con tal de alcanzar más fácilmente mi propósito. Pese a que estaba totalmente equivocado al pensar que la carrera se enfocaba completamente a la ilustración, me sirvió para entender el diseño como una forma de vida. No terminé la carrera porque en ese entonces no creía que lo que me estaban enseñando era lo que buscaba. Siempre he tenido la idea de que todo lo que una persona sabe hacer bien, lo tiene dentro de sí. Solo se necesita un poco de impulso.
Los años posteriores a mi renuncia a la universidad, los pasé haciendo sitios web como pasatiempo, aprendiendo inglés y algunas otras cosas más personales como tocar la guitarra. En ese tiempo aprendí por cuenta propia bastante sobre el diseño web, lenguajes de programación y el uso de la paquetería de Adobe/Macromedia (en esos ayeres). Usé ese aprendizaje para sacar algo de provecho, y comencé a anunciarme como diseñador freelance en mercadolibre.com, a la par que me empleaba en una tienda como asistente general.
No hace mucho, me independicé, y ahora tengo un modesto negocio personal. Sigo diseñando a los clientes que tengo, así como a nuevos que solicitan mis servicios. Trato de aprender cosas nuevas, como la creación de portales comerciales, SEO, redes sociales, etc. Lo que esté en tendencia y más. Todavía tengo la ilusión de publicar un buen cómic, pero en este momento quiero terminar de asentar mi economía.
ENGLISH
All my life i've liked the aesthetic of things. When i was a child i wanted to be a doctor, but my passion
for drawing was stronger. I spent several years making comics during the elementary and high school, and
my main target was to publish a comic. When i finished my bachelor, i chose to study Design in order
to reach easily my goal. Despite i was totally wrong about thinking the career was focused completely
on illustration, it helped me to see design as a way of life. I didn't finish the degree because at that
time i didn't believe the things they teached to me wasn't what i wanted. I always had the idea that
all the things that a person can do well, are within. It's just needed a little push.
Subsequent years from my college resignation, i spent them developing websites as a hobby, learning
english, and doing another more personal things like playing guitar. In that time i learned by myself
alot about web design, programming languages and mastering Adobe/Macromedia (at that time). I used
that learning to make something useful, and i started as a freelancer in mercadolibre.com, at the same
time i was working in a store as a salesclerk.
Not long ago, i became independent, and now i own a personal business. I'm still working as a freelancer
to my regular clients, as well to the new ones who ask for my services. I try to learn new things,
like electronic commerce, SEO, social networks, etc. The trendy things and so on. I still have
the dream of publishing a good comic, but right now i want finish to establish my economics.
