Hi JC, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?
“Good Day Every Day” is definetly my favorite quote, it can be interpreted as a mantra or a guiding principle to cultivate a positive and fulfilling life. It embodies the concept of seeking goodness and positivity in every moment, regardless of the circumstances.

“Good Day Every Day” signifies a commitment to approaching each day with gratitude, optimism, and kindness. It encourages embracing the present moment and finding joy in the simplest of things. It reminds us to focus on the positive aspects of our lives, even amidst challenges or difficulties. This phrase reminds us that goodness can be found in every day, regardless of external circumstances. It emphasizes the power of our mindset and attitude in shaping our experiences. It encourages us to cultivate a positive outlook, to appreciate the beauty around us, and to extend acts of kindness and compassion towards others.

Ultimately, “Good Day Every Day” encourages us to live consciously, with intention and awareness, seeking opportunities for growth, connection, and making a positive impact in our own lives and the lives of those around us. It serves as a reminder that each day is an opportunity for personal and collective transformation, and by embracing the inherent goodness within ourselves and the world, we can create a more harmonious and fulfilling existence.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Hailing from Peru, my early years were spent in the quaint city of “La Merced,” situated just outside the capital. At the age of 14, I relocated to Miami, where my passion for both Art and Technology took root. Seizing an opportunity to collaborate with a local recording company, I embarked on honing my skills in Marketing, Graphic Design, and Social Media.

Throughout my journey, I have been largely self-taught, relentlessly pursuing knowledge and proficiency. I invested in equipment and software, even in times of financial constraint, driven by my determination to acquire the necessary expertise. I recall toiling in exchange for meager compensation, exposure, and sustenance, gradually reaching a point where the true value of my work was recognized by brands.

Over time, I have had the privilege of working with diverse brands across various industries in both the United States and Peru. Notably, I engaged in collaborations with renowned entities such as Sony Music Peru, contributing to their endeavors and even accompanying their music artists on tour. Moreover, I had the opportunity to work closely with a segment of the production team for Black Eyed Peas in Los Angeles, under the guidance of George Pajon Jr.

Presently, I hold the esteemed positions of Marketing Director and Graphic Designer for ERLI Technologies, an EWA Fintech APP, as well as for The Vault House, an exclusive and luxury safe deposit box facility in Brickell Miami.
