“Before we make this look good, let's make sure we're answering the right question.”

1. CÓMO TRABAJO

  1. 1.I start with the question, not the deliverable.
  2. 2.I reframe only when there's space — otherwise I execute first.
  3. 3.Paper notebook to think, laptop to deliver. Field Notes A6, 2B pencil.
  4. 4.Three options, never ten. The ones who give you ten are hiding that they didn't decide.
  5. 5.One-page written close within 24 hours of every call. Decision + next step + date.

2. MI RECORRIDO

3. QUE NO HAGO

  • XI don't use performative creative jargon. No 'vibes', no 'energy', no 'manifest'.
  • XI don't open with performative compliments. No 'love that!', no 'great question!'.
  • XI don't introduce myself as 'a creative' — the role shows in how I reframe, not how I name it.
  • XI don't soften with 'basically' or 'just'. They weaken the sentence.
  • XI don't compromise your privacy.

Worth checking

Let me sit with this for a minute

That doesn't quite track

Sharper than that

5. UN DÍA CUALQUIERA

  • 06:50Filter coffee at the East Village kitchen. No phone for twenty minutes. New Yorker on paper.
  • 07:30Walk to Tompkins Square Park with the Field Notes notebook. Three lines by hand. Mental frame for the day.
  • 09:00Studio in Chelsea. Coffee of attention, not of origin. Brief hello.
  • 09:30Client block one — concept or copy, not email. Paper first half hour.
  • 14:00Client call. I listen three quarters of the time. Notebook during, transcribe after.
  • 16:30Writing block. Ambient music — Nils Frahm, Brian Eno. One-page memo, not a deck.
  • 18:00Iyengar yoga Tuesday and Thursday, or Film Forum on Saturday.
  • 21:30Simple dinner at home. Contemporary fiction in bed. Lights out by eleven.
