HOLA, I'M DIEGO ALMANZA!
Creative director (Art) - Photographer - Augmented Reality enthusiast - Craftsperson
I'm a chronically curious mind with over 20 years of experience in the advertising field. Currently based in Los Angeles and playing between the intersection of technology and creativity. I am passionate about every form of visual communication, constantly learning and exploring new ways to express ideas—from oil or acrylic painting to clay sculpting, collage, risography, 3D printing, CGI, Augmented reality or prompting AI engines to create any kind of images.
I'm obsessed with the process, the craft and aesthetics curation. The transformation of an imaginary vision into a tangible reality excites me the most in every project I’m part of. Photography has always been my preferred medium due to its instantaneous yet complex and meticulous technical process. To me, photography is the purest form of storytelling ever invented by humankind.
Over the past 20+ years, I've had the opportunity to collaborate with talented minds across the Latam, US and Europe regions leading visual stories and creative concepts for brands such as Samsung, VISA, Nestlé, Mercedes Benz, Toyota, Ford, ABInBev, Ferrero, American Eagle, Juan Valdez, Snapchat, and Tequila Don Julio. I've also had the fortune of being recognized by industry leaders at Cannes Lions, Clio, LIA, One Show, New York Festivals, El Ojo de Iberoamérica, Young Lions, El Círculo Creativo de México, El Dorado, and Lápiz de Acero.
