JONATHAN RAMÍREZ C.

CREATIVE - ART DIRECTOR - DESIGNER - ILLUSTRATOR

I'm Jonathan Ramírez, a bilingual Creative/Art Director with more than 15 years of experience in the advertising industry. My journey has taken me from the vibrant cities of Medellín, Bogotá, and Buenos Aires to the bustling creative hub of Los Angeles. I've had the privilege of contributing my skills to renowned agencies such as Grey, DDB, McCann, Draft FCB, JWT, Publicis, and Dieste.
My passion lies in collaborating with top-tier art directors globally. I'm driven by an unwavering commitment to crafting imaginative concepts, innovative ideas, and stunning designs that seamlessly transcend diverse media platforms, consistently delivering that captivating element of surprise.
Beyond my role as a Creative/Art Director, I am a dedicated digital illustrator who thrives on exploring various painting techniques. My versatile approach encompasses watercolor, markers, pencil colors, and acrylics, allowing me to infuse a unique touch of creativity into every project.
