Carlos Herrera’s Summary
I'm absolutely in love with creating, I can easily say it makes me feel alive and I don't like restricting myself to just one medium or tool, always open to experimenting new techniques and pushing my own limits to see what's possible.
I've been Art Director at world-reknowned Advertising Agencies such as Young & Rubicam and DDB at their Mexico divisions.
I'm currently involved in projects with heavyweight Drum n Bass label Lifted Music (www.liftedmusic.com) as a part of the visual/graphics crew.
