I work on a variety of projects, including retouching press and social media images to make them look their best, as well as designing materials for events, social media, stores, and collaborations with influencers and TV shows.

By using my creativity and skills in graphic design and photo retouching, I’m able to create visual narratives that capture the essence of the brand and leave a lasting impression on viewers.
While my primary role at Casa Dragones is graphic design and photo retouching, I also have experience in motion design, 3D rendering, web development, and photography. Whether it’s creating animations, rendering product images, developing website pages, or taking photos, I’m always looking for ways to enhance the brand’s visual presence and engage its audience.

Career evolution at Casa Dragones ✦ Career evolution at Casa Dragones ✦
Started as a foreign intern at Casa Dragones’s headquarters in New York City in 2019, I’ve had the opportunity to be part of an incredibly talented team of professionals in the design industry. During my internship, I quickly learned how to produce high-quality premium work under tight deadlines and gained valuable experience working on various design projects.
After the internship, I was offered the opportunity to continue working for the company as a full-time freelance graphic designer. I was thrilled to be able to continue working with such a prestigious brand and contribute my skills to the team.
As a remote worker, I was able to bring my own creative style and perspective to the design projects, while also learning from the experienced team members at Casa Dragones. Since then, I’ve continued taking on a wide range of projects that have helped me to refine my abilities and further expand my work. I am proud to have made my way from an intern to a full-time graphic designer, working remotely from different parts of the world, and I am excited to continue to grow and learn as a designer with Casa Dragones.
Jamming Sessions & Cocktails
Casa Dragones’ Jamming Sessions is a twice-yearly cocktail competition that brings together bartenders from around the world who share a love for tequila and Mexico. With over 400 submissions, the competition culminates in a live event where the top eight finalists craft cocktails based on Casa Dragones Blanco and a theme related to San Miguel. The final three bartenders then present their innovative, sustainably produced cocktails to a panel of expert judges. The winner receives a trophy, an invitation to a Casa Dragones Bartender Residency in San Miguel, a set of ultra-premium expressions, and a grant to support their professional endeavors. It’s a fun and exciting way to celebrate tequila culture and creativity!
